Chamber Greetings!

Each year I think of a theme to take on the new year - 2020 Vision (that was a blur!), 2021 Forward. This year I came up with this -- 2022 JOY!

As we reflect on what we've been through these last few years, we can enter 2022 with a sense of JOY because, we've made it!

Our businesses have been through so much; I see fighters, game-changers, innovators, new businesses, and risk-takers! People didn't stop, they kept moving and adapting. I am so grateful to be a part of our business community and see the growth that we've been through. I see joy in 2022.

I believe when we focus on the JOY & happiness around us, more joy and happiness will appear! I hope, as we enter this new year together, that you will also see the joy in what's to come. We've already proven we're stronger than we thought and we can take on the challenges that life throws at us...so this year, take on the JOY in your journey!

Oh, and speaking of JOY - we have a new Bundle of Joy announcement!!

I am beyond excited to share with you a wonderful new addition to our Chamber Family!! Heather Zerweck (WSLCCC Administrative Assistance) had her beautiful and healthy baby boy Anthony Dean on January 12th. Both mom and baby are doing very good! Congratulations Zerweck Family!!
