Basin Area Chamber member meeting today at noon

“One of the most beautiful things we can do is help one another. Kindness doesn’t cost a thing.” 

Chamber membership lunch this Thursday at noon. Lunch is Thai food by Benjaporn Helburn. Her food is highly recommended by the Big Horn REA crew.  Please RSVP so we can plan accordingly. 

Slowly taking down the Christmas lights and decorations the chamber put up around the town. It sure isn’t as fun as putting them up. We have already been looking at items for next year that are on clearance now.

Barbara Anne is stepping down as the lead person for Little Shoppers. Buffy Crumrine has agreed to take the lead. She will need volunteers, for sure. It will continue to be a chamber event and Barbara Anne will help. Right now, we are looking for an easy access place to store the totes and add to them until next year. We still need more tissue paper. 

If you have something you want placed in Chamber Chat on Mondays, please be sure to let us know by Sunday at 4 p.m. 

Thank you, Friends of the Greybull Library and Cowboy Realty, for your chamber membership renewals.
