Thank you to those who attended the Chamber Annual Meeting on January 28, 2016 at the Valley City Town & Country Club. The evening began by enjoying delicious complementary appetizers & soups while enjoying great conversation with other Members. During the meeting we reviewed the
financials for the 2014-2015 fiscal year, discussed future plans, and a very positive report was given regarding Chamber Committee involvement and Membership. We are pleased to report that the Chamber Membership is strong and growing. Currently we have a total of 210 Members, of which 16 Members joined in the past year. One of our main goals regarding Membership is that as a Member, you see real value in your Membership. Many of our Members benefit from advertising and networking opportunities, educational sessions, community events and business referrals provided by the Chamber. However, you may have other ideas on how your Chamber can better serve your industry. Please share these ideas with us by phone, email or stop by.
Thank you to our Chamber Members who have renewed their Membership this month, listed on page 3.
