The Chamber thrives off of the contributions of our members. The dues that each of you pay is key to the day-to-day running of our offices. However, the volunteer hours that you and your employees offer to us are also instrumental in making our Chamber function properly. Each month this section features Chamber volunteers who have demonstrated extra effort for the month. It is our hope that we will see each of you in this column soon.
