Angel Tree Project a Success
|
|
Thank you to everyone who supported our Chamber Ambassadors in the 2017 Salvation Army Angel Tree Project. Ambassadors adopted out nearly 200 local "angels" and raised close to an additional $250 from a sip-and-shop benefit at J. McLaughlin. We appreciate our members' generosity during this holiday season and throughout the year.
A huge thank you to Alicia Casgar from Coastal Computer Consulting for heading up this year's Angel Tree Project.
|
|
From our staff to you, Happy Holidays! Thank you for your loyalty and support throughout the year, and we wish you a peaceful and prosperous 2018!
The Chamber's offices will be closed on December 25-26 and January 1, in observance of the holidays.
