Letter from the President

It is hard to believe a year has gone by already. And, as I promised nearly a year ago the Chamber has taken a look at their programs and determined it is time to let some of them go while creating others. There have been some great debates about our programs and which ones should go, but in the end, it made us stronger and provided us with vision for the future.

As we near the end of another school year, the perfect attendance committee led by Susan Bournique is collecting donations. The children really look forward to getting this award. It's like Christmas in May. They can't wait to find out what's inside those boxes. Remember, they will be your future employees, so let's encourage perfect attendance!

Our other programs are gearing up as well. Dennis Banks and his committee are already working on the Chamber's 2nd Annual Golf Outing scheduled for July 13th, and Mark Galenski and his committee are working on the Home and Business Showcase scheduled for October 15th.

Our annual meeting will be Tuesday, April 26th at the Eastview Wesleyan Church. Nancy Hoover and the rest of her committee have been making the plans for what is sure to be an entertaining evening. Hope to see everyone there.

And finally, thank you for allowing me to serve as your Chamber President. I have enjoyed leading this great organization, and I encourage all of you to get involved. As always, remember to buy local, shop local.

Trade Fair Booth

Your chamber is once again looking for volunteers who would like to staff the Chamber's booth at the Marion Chamber's Trade Fair, Wednesday, May 11, 2005. This is another opportunity for networking with area businesses and fair visitors. 1-2 hour shifts would be great. We need to staff our booth from 12:00 to 2:00 for the Business to Business portion, and then from 2:00 to 5:00 for the general public. Any time you can spare would be appreciated. Contact Mark D. Galenski @ 668-8851 for more details and to sign up for the Chamber's booth.
