Dear Fellow Chamber Members,The months just keep flying by faster and
faster. Now that we are already into May which is “My Chamber Month.” Be sure to pick up a wallet size invite to our many upcoming events.
I want to thank Doug Meisinger with Clear Lake Today, for putting together a video on what our Chamber means to our members. Several Chamber members have been interviewed to tell their stories. For me personally, I feel it is one of the most important decisions a business person makes for their business. Whether you are active or not, it gives you direct access to what is going on in our area as well as statewide.
If you haven’t heard, one of my goals this year is to grow our Chamber. All businesses would benefit from being a member, so please share names with me of prospective members. Remember, if they join, I will buy your next lunch at the next Chamber luncheon.
Hopefully you have on your calendar our Business & Wellness Expo, May 11th, 11am-6pm at
Gloria del Lutheran Church. This is always a great event and offers our members an opportunity to network with all attendees. June 15th is our annual no experience bowling tournament. Start practicing now so you can show off your bowling talents.
See you out and about at a Chamber event.
All the Best,
Carl A. JoinerChairman of the BoardChairman/CEO – Joiner Architects, Inc.
