President's Message April was another great month for the Chamber! We had 4 new members join the Chamber -we welcome AT&T, ExpandaCraft, House Savers and Jeep Girl Realty! That brings our total new members in 2022 to 38 and the month of May is looking really busy too! It’s not too late for you to join us.
We had another successful networking luncheon in April. Our host was Donkey’s Bar & Grill who also catered our great lunch. Thank you to all of our members who brought guests and door prizes and to Petra Shuff and our Events Committee volunteer coordinator Mary Wallace for putting together another successful luncheon!
By the time this article is published we will have completed another successful workshop on “Meta” (Facebook) where participants learned the "hows" and "whys" of using the business side of the Facebook application to grow and promote their business. We thank Gulf Winds Credit Union for sponsoring the workshop; Audrey Frazier of Fla Biz Co for leading the workshop and the Wakulla Public Library for hosting the event.
May’s networking luncheon will be on May 25, 2022 and will be held at El Jalisco. We look forward to seeing you there so go ahead and get it on your calendar now and call Petra to RSVP. More here
