The Wetzel-Tyler Chamber of Commerce would like to introduce our new Recpetionist, Betty Klug. Betty has been a longtime member and supporter of the Chamber and we couldn't be more thrilled to have her on our team!
We hear a lot about young people today. So much of it is unfortunately negative. They are painted with a broad brush. However, if those of us who come from another generation are honest, the same was said of us and generations before us.. We survived and made our way. Every generation does and these young people will find their way as well.

There are young people right here in our communities who would amaze you with their work ethic, vision and commitment to their futures! Valerie Piko from the Regional Economic Development Partnership and I had an impromptu visit last week to Hundred High School’s two thriving student programs: The Funky Florist and the Covered Bridge Bakery. These are very real businesses that are teaching students true entrepreneurial skills. They each serve customers with quality products that makes us all proud!

These programs really give students hands-on experience running a business and the students of Hundred High School are working hard to learn and succeed.  So the next time that you hear someone say “these kids today…” be sure to share with them the fact that we have pubic schools with amazing and dedicated teachers preparing our kids for very successful careers and our students are excelling. No worries, the kids are alright!
