Ah, the holidays.
From Thanksgiving
through the New Year's
celebration, it all seems
a blur. It sure is a great
time to have fellowship
with friends and family
though. We have a lot to
be thankful for in our
community.
Life's struggles have not passed us by,
but we are much better than most. I predict
a bright future for the U.S. economy. I es-
pecially predict a bright future for our local
economy. The next two years will bring new
businesses and growth to our area. Along
with this, we should never forget the sacri-
fices asked of our servicemen and women.
Many will spend their holiday fighting
those that would like to destroy this great
nation. We
should all
thank them
everyday.
Thank
you for be-
ing a chamber
member. It
shows that you care. I wish you and your
family the very best.
