Good Morning Chamber Members & Friends!

Good Morning Chamber Members & Friends,

In just the past few weeks, we have been faced with the task of rethinking how we interact with each other in our communities, businesses, schools, how we gather, and how we travel. The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a rapidly evolving situation.

The goal for our Chamber is to ensure that the information we share is accurate and informative.

We encourage our business and nonprofit members to make the safety and well-being of your employees, volunteers and customers your number one priority during this time.

As a community we should all continue to support local businesses in ways that are safe and appropriate for them.

We are going through this together and need to count on each other to be calm, rational and considerate. Check on your neighbors and at-risk community members by calling on the phone or sending private messages via social media; instead of going in person.

Listed below are a few websites and social media channels to keep you, as an entrepreneur and community member, informed on the latest news about COVID-19 :

As of this morning, today's Leadership Series Luncheon is scheduled as planned. We ask if you are experiencing any cold or flu-like symptoms, for the welfare of all, please stay home. If this changes, we will send out the message via email and our social media channels.
