Letter From the President
Another quarter has passed and the chamber is enjoying a very busy summer. It has been a productive six months for the chamber. Already this year, we have 70 new chamber members, have had record breaking attendance at our seminars, are enjoying our new Main
Street Art Gallery, have created numerous co-op advertising opportunities for our businesses and are in the process of adding a gift shop / visitors center to our main lobby. Yes, we have been busy!
Melissa, our Project Manager has once again outdone herself. With the help of Lori and her chamber board team she has produced a spectacular Celebrating Summer in Carbondale Event. Despite the rain, most of the local artisan and food vendors showed up to play. In addition to the chambers event, the city’s 1st Annual Music and Wine Festival added to the
festivities and of course, let’s not forget the arrival of the train. The Chamber acknowledges and thanks Brian Kelley CPA, Community Bank, NEP, Pennstar Bank, and QPI for their continued support of this major event.
The upcoming months will be just as busy and exciting, so keep watch for our upcoming Mixers, September Non-Traditional Golf Tournament, Fall Festival in October and our Christmas ‘Nutcracker’ Event in December. Each of these events are planned with you in
mind. Each event will provide you with an opportunity to meet new partners, to share your vision and move our community forward. We look forward to your participation.
Until next quarter,
Lorraine K Parise, President |
