The Past, Present & Future at the Chamber

IN THE PAST...

Wise Words - “Use those Tax Return Organizers!”
Nobody knows better than CPAs and other tax preparers what time of year we’re in. Christina A. Boswell, a CPA in Swansea, has some suggestions for those of us wrestling with tax forms.

 

IN THE PRESENT...

What ain’t we got? Auction turning up wealth of donations - A pink chicken. Five days in Vancouver. Hearing aids so small they’re almost invisible. And a set of four brand-new Michelin tires. There’s just no end to the diversity of items to be auctioned March 29 at the Chamber’s annual “down by the river” Oyster Roast and Auction.
Focus on the Future Update

Focus on the FuturePledges are coming in for the Chamber’s new office and Visitors Center on Main Street. Mike Crapps, President/CEO of First Community Bank, is chairing the Focus on the Future committee, members of which are asking for pledges. Approximately half of the $1 million goal has been met. Construction is slated to begin before spring. To make your pledge, contact Mike at 951-0500 or Chamber President/CEO Randy Halfacre at 359-6113.
