Greetings!
I hope all of you have been enjoying this much needed break from the snow and rain. I took advantage of the great weather and washed the cars and did some yard work. It has been a busy, yet successful, first month of 2009 for the Chamber.  The lunch meeting was well attended, including 4 or 5 new faces which is always nice to see.  Our first board meeting was full of energy and some fresh ideas. The week was topped off by a very successful King County Elections Director Candidate Forum.
 
Let's keep the momentum going as we look forward to our next lunch meeting on February 11th. The theme is "new businesses in Newcastle" with Sandra Wixon of Sweet Decadence and Larry Kerson of Regency Newcastle. Hope to see you there!
