Chamber meeting today at noon, lunch provided

“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson
Chamber member meeting today at noon. Bring information about what is happening for your organization/business. Business cards, too. Great opportunity to network. Lunch provided.
Over 800 gifts were wrapped in three hours on Saturday during Little Shoppers. Paintrock and Greybull FFA members and advisors were kept busy, especially the first hour and a half. I would estimate that most of the gifts were wrapped during that timeframe. Cis Sylvester, as always, was queen of matching kids with helpers. Thank you, Doris Crane, Susan Wynn, MauRena Scott, Clarissa Zimdars, Buffy Crumrine, Gary DeShazer and Cash Duncan for your amazing help. This list of people who make this happen each year goes on and on.
Welcome aboard new member, Greybull Museum. Thank you, Michelle Olsen Photography, for your chamber renewal.
