Weekly Chamber Update

Call me to see how you can get more involved in the Chamber so you can meet other members and grow your relationships that will help you grow your business!

For example, tomorrow is the Retail meeting at TeaLula and the Newsletter meeting here at the Chamber. The golf outing meeting is Thursday and the Ambassadors have their luncheon also. Friday is the leads and referral networking group, PREN 3, and we’re looking to add more people to it as it’s the newest one.
