MEMBER-TO-MEMBER: EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT FOR APRIL 24, 2015

From Ryan Craig
Executive Director
Logan County Chamber of Commerce
ryancraig@loganchamber.com

  There are locally grown products available all over Logan County, and perhaps my favorite "local" product is maple syrup. Our newest Chamber of Commerce member produces Grade A Dark Amber maple syrup from Logan County trees, and it is beyond delicious. (What else would you expect something produced from the trees you grew up climbing and swinging in to taste like, right?) Let's all welcome O' Brother's Maple Syrup. They don't have a storefront yet, but their operation is located on Stevenson Mill Road – I gave you their address so there wouldn't be any cheesy "O' Brother's Where art thou?" jokes – and their product can be purchased at Piggly Wiggly and Farmers Hardware. For more information, call 270-542-6283. (A photo is provided so you can recognize their logo and buy their syrup.)

   So, here's to our newest member: may their trees be sappy and their bottles fly off the shelves!

 

 

DON'T FORGET TO FILL OUT YOUR MEMBERSHIP SURVEY

   In less than a week, we have had 60 fill out our membership survey. Those are the complete surveys (we have a few incomplete ones as well) and we are looking for at least another 60 so we can have a good sample size of our membership. There will be a drawing for two $50 gift certificates. Fill out the survey and have a chance to help shape the chamber and to get some spending money.

   Here is the link for the survey:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/C29WSC5

 

CREEKWOOD TEA AND NETWORKING

We had a great time, good food and a good crowd for the tea and networking event at Creekwood Place Nursing & Rehab Center on Wednesday. If you missed it, you missed a great opportunity for fellowship. Thanks to Misty Carlock, director of Admissions and Marketing, and the staff at Creekwood for being so kind and welcoming.
 

RIBBON CUTTING AT LEWISBURG BANK NEXT TUESDAY

There will be a ribbon cutting on Tuesday, April 28, for Lewisburg Bank (Hopkinsville Road location in Russellville) starting at 7:30 a.m. with the ribbon cutting at 8 a.m. We have had great crowds so far this year at our ribbon cuttings and let's try to have as many members as we can show up to support the fine staff at Lewisburg Bank.

   Also, there will be a ribbon cutting for Southpoint Risk Advisors (merged Jesse L. Riley & Son Insurance and the Insurance Place) – May 6 @ 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. with the ribbon cutting at 8 a.m.

 

 

LT. GOV. VISITS ADAIRVILLE
 

A big congratulations to the City of Adairville and its citizens for receiving $577,700 to improve the city's water and sewer systems. Lt. Gov. Crit Luallen presented the check to Mayor Donna Blake and the City Council on April 15. A great day for Adairville!

 

 

That is all for now, as this is being sent out on Thursday since I'm off to the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce for a seminar on Friday. Have a great rest of the week and don't forget to fill out your survey!!!
