Dear Chamber Members,
Happy New Year!
I am looking forward to 2023, as I am sure many of you are as well. 2022 was a challenging year for many, but your Chamber had a great year, and many of our favorite events returned to their former glory.
Thank you, again, to all of our Holiday Events sponsors and to all who participated in our Community Tree Lighting, Gnome Decorating Contest, Breakfast with Santa, 42nd Annual Grafton Christmas Parade, and our Holiday Home Decorating contest. Including all those who drove around enjoying the beautifully decorated homes. You can still view and vote for your favorites though January 6th. Visit the Chamber website for a map of the homes on the tour.
Next up on the Chamber docket is the State of the Community Address which will be held on Wednesday, January 25th at the Twelve Eighteen. Please join me at this great event to learn about what is going on in your Village, Town, School District and of course, our Chamber of Commerce.
Watch for details regarding upcoming cooperative programming with Ozaukee Economic Development and the county Chambers of Commerce. On Wednesday, January 18, attend our program at MATC Mequon Campus to learn more about the programs that can be customized for your business to help hire and train your employees. We have also developed a leadership series in cooperation with the Kacmarcik Center for Human Performance. Details about this 4 part series will be coming soon. The next ONCE luncheon will be held on March 1, don’t miss our opportunity to network with county-wide Chamber Members!
As always, don’t hesitate to contact the Chamber staff if you have any questions.
Stay Warm!
Sean
