Chamber President's Message

by Darlene Curley

Summer is here! The Chamber begins a new fiscal year with prospects looking positive. With an increase in new members and with what appears to be an end to the deductions in membership, the prospects are indeed improving. We welcome the new members; they are joining a fine group of hardworking, dedicated individuals that are the backbone of this chamber. The new members are bringing a new eye, good ideas and energy; we welcome this surge and know that it will bring with it a growth that will help the chamber to continue to succeed.

We are looking to add some new items to the chamber’s agenda. A request has been made that some marketing tips be made available for those members who are just starting out or may be looking for new ways to market their businesses. So beginning in July I have made some time available on the second Friday of each month for about an hour for any member who would like to sit down and talk about marketing. Since the office is normally closed on Fridays, I am making it by appointment only. I look forward to meeting with those of you who would like to discuss marketing techniques.

Our 21st annual golf tournament is scheduled for August 18th at Sierra Lakes Golf Course. We are already getting foursome reservations. Polish those golf clubs, we are going to have some super prizes, stay tuned for more information!
