Chamber of Commerce President
“June is bustin’ out all over” – from the quintessential American composing team of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s – “Carousel.” I have a special place in my heart for “Carousel” and for June as well. The first musical I ever performed in was indeed Carousel and I was just 13 years old….it seems like yesterday! I hope you are enjoying this beautiful stretch of weather we are having, let’s hope it continues!
As usual in our little corner of the world there is so much going on…here is a highlight of weekend happenings for you!

We offer a weekly Member2Member email program in which chamber members can directly communicate via email with other chamber members. These very popular Member2Member emails can be shared with anyone. Often times the information is a banking service offer, a new restaurant menu or announcement of a special event. So here is a sample of this week’s offerings.
