Dear Chamber Member,
I hope that this letter finds you doing well, staying safe and healthy, and that you had a great summer!
Over the past three months, your Chamber Staff and Board of Directors worked to create what is now our new normal. We have begun to host events, like the recent ONCE luncheon and the Farmers Market, and we are looking forward to getting back to Business After Hours events and bringing our Young Professionals group back together. Believe it or not, we have begun work on the Grafton Christmas Parade that will be held on Saturday, November 27.
If you are looking for a way to get more involved in our community, we hope that you will consider joining our Holiday Events Committee. We can use help with our parade, both in the planning, and on the day of the event.
We are excited to be hosting our Annual Golf Outing on September 15, and hope that you will consider joining us. If you are not a golfer, we can always use help at the outing, or feel free to register to join us for dinner.
As always, please remember that if you have any questions, or if we can help you, please don't hesitate to contact me.
We truly appreciate your support of our organization and our community!
Pam King
Chamber Executive Director
