• Just want to share with everyone how terrific the monthly Brown Bag Seminars are. The topics are current and the monthly speakers are knowledgeable. We've not only learned a great deal but have also made some great connections.

• We think the "Shop Local" program is a tremendous idea and is another reason we believe in the Chamber. We think the program, or something similar, should be continued after the holidays.

• Interstate did a small move for Seth Stark & Associates. One Chamber member helping another. It never would’ve happened if I hadn’t served as Seth’s Ambassador. They were using another vendor for the first part of their move but afterwards told me working with Interstate was the difference between night and day.
