Farewell Note from Deanne Mulvihill
|
|
As you already know, I’ll be leaving my position as Executive Director here at the Berthoud Area Chamber of Commerce, and my last day is December 31, 2019.
While I’m excited about the opportunity of spending more time with family and having more time to travel, there’s also a big part of me that’s sad to be saying goodbye to working with all of you. I can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed our time together, and how much I value the friendship you’ve shown me over the past six years.
There wasn’t ever a day that I didn’t look forward to coming into the office. I’ll always remember my first year here when you were all so welcoming to me.
This might be the end of my time as your Executive Director at the chamber, but it’s definitely not the end of our time together. I’m already a chamber member with my personal business and I’ll be attending events as a member in 2020.
I look forward to the future growth of the chamber with a new Executive Director. I know you’ll be as open and welcoming to this new person as you were to me.

Congratulations to
1st American Insurance Agency
on their ribbon cutting. We want to thank Steve Pierce, owner, for being a part of the Berthoud Chamber.
1st American Insurance Agency is a retail insurance agency offering personal and commercial products to consumers. Have you taken the time to quote your personal auto and home insurance recently? 2nd opinions are important. You probably should.
Insurance pricing has grown increasingly sophisticated over the last few years and currently we are in a rising rate environment. At 1st American Insurance Agency they often see differences of 50% and more. You may want to look at a variety of options for your property, or you may not be sure if a bundling strategy is appropriate for your needs and goals. Since every individual and family is different, working with an independent agency like 1st American Insurance Agency can help you compare your homeowners and auto policy options without wasting time. Have you taken the time to quote your personal auto and home?
If you are interested, please contact these two Berthoud Chamber representatives from 1st American Insurance Agency: Wade Whiteley, wade@1aia.com, (303) 774-8810 and
Frasier Stanley, frasier@1aia.com, (303) 774-8810.

October - Colorado Promotional Supply

Congratulations to Sandie and Ed Campbell with
Colorado Promotional Supply
for being voted business of the month in October. Sandie and Ed have created many products for us, including screen printing our Snowfest team jackets and etching our Experience Berthoud glass mugs. They have grown a lot since they have joined the Chamber. They offer a wide range of products and branding processes in-house and what they cannot do there, they can send out and have done quickly and at a good price. One thing that sets them apart is that
they can create one-off pieces without a minimum order
. So, if you would like to make personalized gifts for the holiday, contact Colorado Promotional Supply and find out what they have to offer.
