It is hard to believe we are in the home stretch of 2022. From my perspective, this year has flown by. As a Chamber, we are on our way to reaching many of our goals for the year. One of our top goals was to provide more in-person networking events. We know this is one of the main reasons local businesses join the Chamber and we are all about return on investment. One of our most successful events was the recent Open House STIR hosted by Trademasters. It was great to see so many new 'potential' members join us too.
As a Chamber, we enjoy supporting our members and making sure you all get what you want from your SFCC membership. And we are always looking to expand our membership for the good of all. |

A huge thank you to Beth and Dave Kyle of Trademasters and their coworkers who welcomed the SFCC with open arms. It was a relaxed, casual atmosphere on a cold rainy day. It was a perfect event to make new connections and renew old acquaintances. I know it isn't easy sometimes to pull away from your business. There are always staffing issues, supply chain problems, and often the proverbial fires to put out. But those who attend these networking opportunities will tell you, it is worth your time to make the effort to make an appearance.
Huge thanks to the SFCC Events Committee of Terry Head, Tom Repczynski, and Carla Olivo. Read on for more opportunity for ROI on your Chamber membership. Happy Autumn,

We had a fantastic turnout for the September S.T.I.R. generously hosted by SFCC member Trademasters.
Chamber members and invited guests enjoyed some great conversation, delicious food, and fun door prizes in Trademasters' new meeting space. This was a great chance for members to build business relationships, to further career goals, and find new opportunities. |
