Chairman's Corner - Note from Fred Gaffney |
|
Friends & Colleagues,
I hope that you are experiencing the same level of positive activity that we are at The Columbia Montour Chamber. This Spring and early Summer, I wrote about the strain our members were facing from workforce shortages and inflationary pressures. Once again, our existing businesses and entrepreneurs are showing their resilience. This Fall, we have celebrated a number of ribbon cuttings, and registration for our events is picking up. While their challenges have not gone away, these organizations are charging forward, and utilizing the Chamber to do so.
