NEW Dues Structure Coming Soon!

To make it easier for businesses to budget their funds for the year we are working on restructuring how we will be billing.

We have officially moved our fiscal year from October 1 to January 1.  Some of you will notice that you are getting prorated billings now as we are preparing for the change over.  We appreciate your cooperation with this.

Beginning November - January ALL of our members will be billed for their dues investment with the Chamber.  Along with this will also be a list of our sponsorships available throughout the year. You will be able to choose what you want and pay with one check at the beginning of the year.

Watch for the new format coming the end of this year!

Bert's Joke of The Month
A guy walks into a bar and says to the bartender, "want to hear a funny Viking football joke"? The bartender responds, "listen I am from Minnesota and a karate expert. That guy next to you is from Minnesota and is a former boxer. The bouncer at the door is also from Minnesota and is a former 280 lb wrestler. Are you sure you want to tell that Minnesota Viking Joke?" The guy responded, "heck no, not if I have to repeat it three times!
