The meeting began at 8 am with 6 members present.
Welcome to new member – Luke Stephenson – new business owner of The Fix – Functional Massage Therapy located at 142 N Main St.
Financial report – General fund balance $4646. We have no fundraisers scheduled so the only income for this year is the membership fees. Donated $25 to the Community Days Car Show and donated $75 towards the Community Days event.
Need some fundraiser ideas that doesn’t take a lot of manpower because we don’t have the volunteers needed to do something big.
New Business The Fix – we will be scheduling a ribbon cutting along with his grand opening. 1 year free membership to the Chamber and a $50 ad in the photo star.
