The last major event for our 2009-10 fiscal year, the Chamber Golf Outing, was held late last month at the Cress Creek Country Club. After what seemed like a week of rain, more rain and still more rain, we couldn’t have asked for better weather for a golf outing in late June. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank our sponsors for the golf outing and for all our major events, as well as everyone who attended. These events are very important to the success of our Chamber and without your support and participation our Chamber would not be able to deliver the quality programs and services that we do.

I had the opportunity to be at the 3rd hole for the entire golf outing participating in a “Beat the Chairman” closest to the pin contest. A big thanks to those of you who let me win (trust me, it wasn’t my skill), and a special thanks to those who beat me, but graciously donated your winnings back to the Chamber.

It was fun to be able to take part in the “game,” but it was an especially great opportunity for me to meet and thank so many of you personally for your membership and support. I saw many old friends and many new faces, and (as should be the case at any Chamber event) made a few new business contacts.

The Chamber is a place for you to connect with one another and build the relationships that are critical to succeeding in business. In this week’s Current, there is a story about how South TEAM II recently adopted one of our not-for-profit Members. This is just one of many examples of how our Members step up in our community. To all of the TEAMs, way to go, you each are doing so many great things for one another and the community.

I hope that all of you enjoyed the outing as much as I did and look forward to seeing you again at another Chamber event soon.
