Dear Members and Friends of the Chamber
Today would have been our annual ChamberFest. Obviously, we recognize its a small sacrifice of Covid-19. In the coming weeks, we will post the new date. It will be a day that we can safely come together and celebrate the joys of business in Montgomery County and beyond.
As this viral outbreak continues, we want you to know that we are experiencing these hardships together. Things are changing everyday. As new legislation is passed, including the imminent $2 trillion dollar bill from the US Senate, we will update you. From my family to yours, we will do our best to help our business community.
