From My Desk to Yours – Looking Ahead

As January comes to a close, most people continue to talk about the mild weather thus far this winter with fear of payback on snow and ice in the spring months of April and May. I shared my own disappointment just two weeks ago when after an eight inch snow storm and a beautiful white Saturday morning, we saw dirt and mud soon thereafter from a downpour of rain.

Two things are certain about our weather. The first is that no one can predict it and second is that we cannot change it.

Two things that you can surely predict are that the Chamber will have three excellent events in the month of April that will benefit each member. On April 19th, our Chamber will have an Administrative Assistant Luncheon with live entertainment, door prizes, a gift for everyone in attendance and a wonderful meal.

That same day in the evening will be our annual Business Night (PCBN) with ninety businesses in attendance, complimentary food and beverage, along with a variety of door prizes. Our members have the opportunity to sponsor the event or secure a spot to showcase your business to the Portage citizens that will be in attendance.

On April 26th, the Portage Chamber will be co-hosting the Annual Beer and Wine Tasting and Silent Auction Event with the Portage Schools Education Foundation at Woodland Park. Members of our chamber can support this event by their attendance, their donation of a small or large auction item, or their invitation to others to participate in the event. More information on all three of these April events will be available in the weeks to come.

Thank you in advance for your support of these networking opporunityies, and for your generosity in all you do throughout the year.

As always – remember to “enjoy today – it is the one that has been given to you.”
