Hello Friends,

Checking in on you all as we move through 2024. 

Hope you were able to make the State of the Chambers. What a time … what a time!!!!  We learned so much and it can only get better going forward.  

How are those resolutions going??? Hopefully, your personal and business goals are on track.  Check out our Lunch & Learns which cover many pertinent topics to positively affect your business. We are always looking for topics of interest, so please contact our office with any ideas. 

February brings us many things to celebrate and contemplate …. Rich African American history through Black History Month, appreciating our loved ones through Valentine's Day (this is your official reminder, please stay out of the doghouse), self-care via American Heart Month and let’s not forget February 18- Drink Wine Day. I challenge you to visit one or all of our local wineries. 

One more challenge, reach out to and/or visit a friend or associate that hasn’t or can’t get out.  They will appreciate it.

See you in the community and as always …
How Can I Help?
