President's Message
Congratulations to all of us that wished 2020 away. It’s 2021 now, and looking ahead, the water is still murky and the current swift. We may have gotten our wish, but probably not the answer we were looking for. As the incoming President of the Chamber of Commerce I have been tasked, primarily, with planning for the year ahead.
While not as big a surprise as my predecessor had when COVID struck in early 2020, it appears that at least for the first half of 2021 we will still be dealing with the unknown and the uncertainty the virus has wreaked upon anyone trying to plan for the months ahead. I have spent considerable time thinking and working with my fellow board members to come up with a strategic and well formulated plan for 2021 and so far, we have revised plans at every meeting.

We had the pleasure of meeting and holding a ribbon cutting for our new member, Venus Stone – Beautifurred Puppy Purrs yesterday. Venus held a grand opening of her new physical location last Saturday, January 30th at 1 pm so potential clients could meet her and check out her cute shop at 2751 Crawfordville Highway. Venus also welcomes her new staff member and groomer, Hayvan Parda. Once Hayvan is fully trained to run the shop, Venus will be offering mobile services again, so be on the lookout for that announcement in a couple of months.
