What a museum!! I did not fully appreciate it until I walked through myself. This is a treasure that should be appreciated by all expecially those involved in the Chamber. Annual membership is only $15 and for myself, who has missed the culture ofthe North, I have found this to be money well spent. Great job Allison, we appreciate the hard work you adn your staffdo. Also ofnote, Jennifer Roth is running our team fro the Relay for Life contributions going to fight cancer. I am committed to having a team from the Chamber and we are only 4 team members short. All support is and will be appreciated. April's meeting will be held on the first Friday, April 5th, as usual, and I am looking forward to a nice turnout.
