Greetings from your Chamber Chair - Dawn Schulberg - Premiere Dance Academy

I hope everyone is

enjoying the early spring

that we are having.

Summer fun is just around

the corner!

Last month we were honored to have our

Superintendent, Dr. Teri Staloch join us at the

Wild’s Golf Club for lunch. She presented us with

a great deal of information on the upcoming

referendum. It was a very informative power

point presentation, and I think we all left with

a greater amount of knowledge that will help

us make good decisions for our community.

Thank you Dr. Staloch for taking the time to

educate us.

Our chamber provides many events and

programs that offer great opportunities to get

to know people and expand their connections

within the community. We offer innovative and

fun ways to help members meet potential

customers, clients and vendors and generate

new business leads. There are quite a few

upcoming events that I urge all of you to

become a part of.

Whether it is volunteering or donating to a good

cause, it is a huge benefit not only to our

community but to your business. Keeping your

business name and what you offer is always in the

forefront of the Chambers mind. Here are two good

choices!! Ladies Night Out at Sailer’s Greenhouse

on April 7th, and the very popular Senior Luncheon

at the VFW on May 2nd.

As always, if you have any questions or ideas for

us, please feel free to contact any one of the

chamber board members. We are here to help and

promote you and your business!
