Executive Director's Message
Greetings,

Don't forget the Chamber website has a page titled "Job Listings". This is a place where our members can post the open positions they are currently trying to fill. We will be sharing the link to this page on our Facebook page a few times per week.

The next Community Shred Event will be on November 6th from 10am-1pm. (see more details below). We will also be collecting non-perishable food during the shred event to benefit the Crofton Christian Caring Council and Sarah's House.

In case you missed the announcement last week, the Premier Event with Keynote Speaker, Janine Stange has been postponed. The event will be in March of 2022 with the exact date to be announced soon. All sponsorships and ticket sales will be honored. We are still very much looking forward to the event! 
 

All the best,

Liz Hostetler
