Chamber News
February 3, 2012
Wow! I cannot believe that in eight short hours Dennis and I will be on a two-week holiday in Mexico. If you have not guessed, you will not be getting a Chamber Newsletter again until February 24. I will try to give you all the info you will need to feed the Chamber bug while I am gone. On the other hand, if your chamber bug needs more feeding you can always talk to the Chamber Executive. They are very knowledgeable and will set you in the right direction. The first item that comes to mind is the Chamber Luncheon on February 15. There will be two newcomers to Canada telling us about the Trials and Tribulations of settling in a new country. Then close behind that is an EARN Partnership Seminar. Donna Murray will be talking about team building. For more info on this, please contact MaryLee at the Town Office.
EVENTS
The Home, Garden & More Show will be here before you know it! Have you registered to have a booth yet? You do not want to miss saving money — the 10% discount deadline of February 28, 2012 will be here before you know it. So give me a sore wrist when I get back by having to open all the registrations for the Home, Garden & More Show.
CHAMBER LUNCHEONS
February 15, 2012, at 11:30 A.M. at Lakeland College’s Fireside Room. We will be hearing from two newcomers to Canada about the Trials and Tribulations of settling in a new country.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
What makes your business special? Have you asked yourself this question? We at the Chamber would like to know so we can market our community and your business better. Please help us let the people of Vermilion know that shopping local is good for everyone. Post that much-needed job position on www.jobsinvermilion.com. This is a free service for Chamber members. If the volunteer organization you belong to is in need of help, we have you covered as well at www.volunteerinvermilion.com.
