From the Chamber

Body
The chamber had their first official membership kickoff on Leap Day—February 29. We had coffee and rolls and great conversation with new board members and business associates. It was our opportunity to talk about our new online membership sign up process. For some of us new technology is trying so we understand this may not be for everyone. Rest assured we will still have a paper process for joining or renewing your membership and we will be glad to email or mail membership forms. Please let us know if you prefer email, otherwise we will be mailing packets in the next week or so. Whatever option you choose—online sign up or the regular paper sign up we look forward to seeing you in 2024.
