Dear friends,

Like many of you, for the most part, your Chamber Staff has been working remotely since mid-March. Beginning this week, I will begin coming into the office more regularly, and am working on implementing some social distancing and safety protocols for our space. The health and safety of our staff and our visitors is of the utmost importance to me and to the Chamber Board of Directors.

That being said, I would love to see you, but please call prior to coming. I want to make sure that we do not have more than 2 people in the office at the same time, at least for the next few weeks. I will not be wearing a mask when I am here alone, but have no problem wearing one when you visit if you would like me to. We will definitely maintain our 6 foot social distance, and we have plenty of hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes available!

Annalise will likely be back in the office the week of June 1 (if our desk shields arrive), and Sarah will be back in mid-June. We are all looking forward to working together and to serving you, however, at least for the next month or so, please bear with us as we maneuver through this new challenge.

Please continue to stay safe and healthy, and as always, don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, concerns or comments.
