The Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors met November 4, 2010 at 7:30 at the VFW Building.
Website: We are in the process of changing the website. If you need something listed, please give Elbert a call and we will get it listed for you.
Banner Promotion: Bear with us we are in the process of getting the rest of the banners up as we speak. We are going to contact some other individuals to see if we can get the banners up any sooner. We appreciate the City Crew for putting the banners down Main Street but they are really busy working on other projects right now so we are going to see if we can get someone else to help us out with this project.
Sight and Safety Night: The Chamber would like to personally Thank the Lions Club for sponsoring the Sight and Safety night and for being a big part of the success of it for several years.
Christmas Parade: Plans are well underway for our 1st Annual Christmas Parade. As we speak we have several entries and are planning on having another committee meeting on November 9, 2010. Anyone interested in participating in the parade is more that welcome to just show up at the VFW Hall between the hours of 3:30 and 4:00 for Line-up and the parade will start at 4:30.
Chamber Banquet: The date for the Chamber of Commerce Banquet has been set for March 19, 2011. We actually took the date that the chamber had reserved for the Expo, because the Optimist Building was booking up fast, so the Board voted to have the Banquet in March and wait and have the Expo in April. I will be giving out more details when they become available I just wanted everyone to get that date on their calendar and make plans to attend, it should and always is a really nice evening.
Business Expo: The date for the expo has been changed to April 16, 2011. The Expo committee met and has been discussing plans for the Expo as far as Advertising and plans for the event. We are still in the planning stages as soon as we finalize our plans we will be getting some information out to our chamber members, so they can plan on attending.
BATS: December BAT: Crowe & Heckman, P.C.
Chamber Bucks: Once again it is getting that time a year to start planning on Christmas shopping. There is nothing better than getting chamber bucks for that certain someone that you just can’t figure out what to buy. Chamber bucks make great gifts for employees or for that boss that is hard to buy for. You can purchase chamber bucks at the Adrian Bank or at Yoss Thriftway or Citizens Bank.
Once again we have a lot going on and a lot on our agenda. Keep shopping local and like I said chamber bucks are always a great gift and we always have are chamber mugs for sale.
