It is with bittersweet emotions that I say goodbye to the Chapin Chamber.
There is so much I cherish from my time working with the members of this organization.
They have influenced, supported, encouraged, challenged and amused me.
|
|
Many have become dear friends over the years and for that I am blessed.
I am honored to have had the opportunity to represent our chamber at town events in Chapin and throughout the surrounding areas.
My hope and prayer would be that the networking, camaraderie and incredible volunteer spirit continues. Without those sparks you cannot ignite positive change in the community and your investment in this chamber is deeply appreciated.
The generosity of this community overwhelms me. Thanks to all of you for making a difference.
I look forward to what the future brings
and hope to see everyone at various functions around town as I represent Best Version Media and the South Chapin Neighbors Magazine.
I have had the pleasure of training Katie and am confident that she will be able to handle all of your Chamber needs.
Welcome Katie!!
It's not a goodbye, it's a see you later & thanks for the memories.....April.

December 19th, 2019

A favorite of young and old alike, National Hard Candy Day on December 19th, recognizes the sweet tooth in all of us.
Most hard candies are 100% sugar with flavoring and colors added. To achieve a hard candy, confectioners boil a sugar syrup to 320 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the temperature is reached, the hot, pliable sugar is poured into molds or rolled and folded into shapes and left to cool. Once cool, the solid sugar becomes hardened and brittle
.
|
|
The first hard candies, such as lemon drops and peppermints, were likely prescribed as a remedy for stomach ailments.
Hard candy became popular in the seventeenth century as sugar prices fell. Previously, hard candy was something that only the well-to-do could afford. By the mid-1800s, over 400 companies were manufacturing this popular treat.
In 2015, Jolly Rancher surpassed Werther’s Original was the best selling hard candy. Other popular hard candies include Dum Dum Pops, Life Savers, Tootsie Roll Pops, and Charms Blow Pop.
Enjoy your favorite hard candy. While shopping for some to taste, be sure to pick some up to fill those stockings, too. Use #NationalHardCandyDay to post on social media.

NATIONAL OATMEAL MUFFIN DAY
|
Enjoy a delicious breakfast or snack on National Oatmeal Muffin Day. It’s an excellent way to celebrate on December 19th annually.
|
|
Known for its health benefits, millions of people start each day with an oatmeal muffin. Oatmeal includes health benefits for our hearts.
Finding ways to incorporate it into our diets increases the opportunities to reap those benefits. Oatmeal muffins are another way to enjoy oatmeal.
The American muffin is similar in size and shape to a cupcake. Recipes for oatmeal muffins began to appear in American cookbooks in the mid-1800s. Raisins, bananas, blueberries and other healthy fruits often compliment oatmeal muffins. Add nuts for even more health benefits and texture, too.
|
|
Each year on the Thursday before Christmas, people across the United States participate in National Re-gifting Day.
The day acknowledges the office parties and the unique Christmas gift exchanges that they do.
|
|
This particular December Thursday appears to be the most common day for companies to hold their annual employee/company Holiday parties.
As a method of recycling, approximately 14%, of those surveyed, believe that regifting is becoming more popular, for that reason alone.
While it may be an official holiday in some states, we recommend caution when deciding to re-gift something. The term does suggest, after all, that the item is unwanted to begin with, and may be unwanted by its next recipient.
