Chamber lunches are great opportunities

“Sometimes, the strength within you is not a big fiery flame for all to see. It is just a tiny spark that whispers softly ... you have this, keep going.” (Thanks for posting, Gretty) 

If you weren’t at the chamber lunch last week, you missed a good opportunity. As Robin Allen, (Road 10 T-shirts, 307 Fossil Finder and Toolman Rentals) said “I love these meetings. It is such a great opportunity to let people know what is happening, cross promote for them and help each other’s business by joining forces. My businesses have definitely benefited from these meetings.” 

Sometimes the words “thank you” are not enough to express the gratitude one feels. The military appreciation game on Saturday was beautiful and touching. So many organizations and people made it happen. The Riverside football teams gave the chamber a photo thanking us for our part. It is because of our chamber members that we are able to fund and participate in these types of events. The meetings are on the second Thursday of the month at noon. 

 Well wasn’t last week’s Chamber Chat fun? It included an event that was past and two listings for roller skating in Greybull. God bless you all for putting up with me. Probably not a good time to ask for a raise. LOL. 

Thank you, Friends of Medicine Lodge, for your chamber membership renewal. Welcome aboard new member Basin Heritage Initiative.  They are a non-profit and fundraising organization.
