The President’s Ponderings

Greetings,

As I mentioned in a previous article, the decision was made to "Go Green" at the chamber. As a result of that decision, this will be our first "e-News Letter". Rather than the customary mailed version, we are moving into the modern age of electronic communication. This change offers a couple benefits. It will reduce the cost of doing chamber business by eliminating the need to purchase and mail the printed materials. It will also allow us to be better stewards of the planet by reducing our carbon footprint as we will be producing less throw away paper products. It should be a win-win situation that will benefit everyone concerned. If a printed copy is needed, you can always print one from your computer. Hopefully the change will go without a hitch but if not, please bear with us as we make the transition.

Our annual bowling event was well attended. We had 144 bowlers and a good time was had by all. Thank you to the folks at Lodge Lanes for hosting the event and all the supporters for the generous donations. Also thank you to everyone that came out in the cold to bowl with us. Keith Johnston did a nice job organizing the event and special thanks goes to the board members for their work with the ticket and raffle sales, and all the help behind the scene. Their efforts made the evening a real success.

Be sure to mark your calendar for the Event of the Year! The Annual Auction and Wine Tasting event will be held on Friday, March 12th at the Crowne Plaza. Chuck Zuerner and the Auction Committee have been working very hard to make this a very special night for everyone to enjoy.

Professional Auctioneer Doug Dalton will be leading us through the live portion of the auction and he is a master at his craft. Lots of items will be auctioned off including a trip to Cabo and a suite at Comerica Park.

For dinner, your choice of steak or fish will be served and there will be plenty of wine to sample. In case you happen to enjoy the wine a little too much, or you just don't feel like driving home after the event, the Crowne is offering special rates for attendees. Just ask at the front desk. Please make your reservations for this event early with Karen LaBelle at the chamber office or with any one of the directors so proper preparations can be made.

Also at the Crowne Plaza, on April 23rd, we will be honoring this years recipient of "The Person of the Year Award", Julie Allison. This is a well deserved recognition of her participation with the community and serves to remind us how, with a little effort and a big heart, one person can have a positive impact on the community and the people around them. Julie is one of those special individuals that is very giving of her time to a worthy cause and I am sure that she would love to see you there. Please come out and join us in the celebration.

Food for Thought: There is a direct correlation between the success of a community and the willingness of people to get involved with it. Are you involved?

Sincerely,
Terry Bridges
