Dear Chamber Members,
When I first joined the Chamber of
Commerce some fifteen years ago, I
was not sure what I expected in return
for my annual dues. I think I just figured
that my business would suddenly
increase due to a listing in the Chamber
directory.
While a listing is a valuable incentive, it
was not until I became active within the
Chamber that my business began to
benefit. First, it was simply going to
general membership meetings and
networking events. From that I joined a
sub- committee. As my interest in the
Chamber grew, I was asked to join the
existing Board of Directors. The rest, as
they say, is history.
As with any endeavor, what you realize
in benefits is commensurate with the
effort you put into it. I would encourage
all Chamber members to, at the very
least, attend Breakfast Bonanzas and
other network events and activities to
advertise and promote your business
and then see if you find what I did;
namely, that Chamber of Commerce
membership is the least expensive
avenue for targeted, inexpensive
advertising opportunities for your
business.
When you put a face on your business
products and services, results generally
follow.

For the past nine
years, Paint the
Town Pink has
encouraged every
woman, 40 and
older, to have her
annual mammo-
gram. You can join
the mission. Help
us encourage
women in your community to get their annual
mammogram.
Mission:
Paint the Town Pink is an annual community-wide
effort to raise awareness of the importance of
annual mammography.
Goals:
To encourage women in our community, aged 40
and older, to have their annual mammogram; to
raise money to provide underserved women in
our community; and to make a difference in the
lives of women in our community.
How We Do It:
It takes a village to achieve the mission of Paint
the Town Pink, and every year that village has
grown with more towns and even more support-
ers helping to spread the word that “early detec-
tion is a woman’s best defense against breast
cancer.”
Paint the Town Pink merges a breast cancer pre-
vention, detection and treatment campaign with a
fundraising component that raises funds to pro-
vide screening mammography to underserved
women in our community.
As a member of the community, we have the
unique opportunity to integrate an important
message into a woman’s daily routine – whether
it is in the places she shops and dines; works and
lives; or through her community’s schools and
community organizations.
Every year in May, as women visit our Pink
Partners – local businesses who support the
mission of Paint the Town Pink – they are able to
pledge to have their annual mammogram, learn
about the importance of early detection and
annual mammography, and if they choose sup-
port another woman’s mammography through
the Pink Fund.
Get Involved: Make an IMPACT
Each year Paint the Town Pink continues to grow.
As we grow, more and more lives are touched in
very meaningful ways.This is the IMPACT that
“Pink” makes in our community.
