Celebrating BusinessWe all enjoyed welcoming these new businesses and
celebrating new milestones!
Ribbon Cuttings A ribbon cutting is the ceremonial opening of a
business that is brand-new, newly-renovated/relocated, or under new management. Sometimes it celebrates a business milestone or new chamber member. They’re
also great networking opportunity!
