Chamber President put to the test.....

Our Chamber president, Kevin Lundell, has been a busy guy this past week. Reading to students at Father Gorman school along with myself and several other community members, to participating in a spelling bee at Lloydmall on Friday as part of Adult Learning Week with yours truly as a judge, made for a fun and entertaining time. Congratulations to Lakeland College president, Glenn Charlesworth for coming out as the winner of the spelling bee, with reference librarian, Michelle Duczek a close second. Our president did well enough. It was a tricky word that knocked him out in the 4th round.

I hear Chamber member, Wayde Blythe, has become a movie star. Watch for him in the third edition of Sure Shot III Moving on Up. Apparently this type of work isn't as easy or as glamerous as you might think!

Today at noon, President Kevin spoke at Rotary covering some of the upcoming events and plans for the Chamber over the next year. Rotary and the Chamber work together quite often to promote speakers to the business community.

Congratulations to board member, Stephanie Dobson and husband Nicholas on the birth of their son, Mathew. Mathew has already attended a Rotary meeting and is expected to show up at the Chamber meetings over the next week or two.

The Sask Tourism & Lakeland College "Ready to Work" program lunches are ongoing this month. There are still a couple of spots available to attend and enjoy a fabulous lunch prepared and  served as part of the practicum for students of this program. Give me a call if you might like to attend.

The Mega Mixer for the Chamber is being held this week on Wed. at the Wayside Inn. Be sure to stop in at 5:00 for some great food, interesting exhibits and lots of helpful networking. If you are a new business, this is the place to be to get to know the business community and promote your business. It is also a good place to keep up to date on the upcoming Chamber events and of course the chance to win door prizes is a great draw. Hope to see you there.

Till next time ....
