In case you missed it, we've relaunched the monthly Chamber Chatter newsletter. The first Wednesday of every month will be "the big one" with as many updates from our Chamber members as we can stuff into one newsletter! We aim for this to be a preview of the upcoming month and encourage all our Chamber members to send in their upcoming events, sales, announcements, introductions, etc to be included in the monthly Chamber Chatter newsletter. We will plan for a mid-month email newsletter also, and of course if something important comes up, Chamber members are always welcome to send along announcements at any time. |

Chamber Banquet Recap
We want to extend our thanks one more time to everyone that attended the annual meeting & banquet February 21st, and also to Fly Boy Brewery & Eats for hosting and catering the meal (that bread pudding, wow!), and to Mrs. B's Floral & Nursery for providing fresh flowers to brighten the tables. We are happy to have so many great business partners, and we were happy to recognize the Lincoln County Health Department as the Chamber Member of the Year and Terry Lilak as the Volunteer of the Year.

- 2021 KS Travel Guides are here! If you would like some to have in your visitor area at your business, I'll be happy to deliver!
- The Chamber is currently building out the 2021 calendar for Chamber Luncheons and Chamber After-Hours events. These events are typically the third Wednesday of each month, either over the lunch hour or at 5 p.m. on-site. We are looking for a March After Hours host, and programming and sponsors for April and May. These are great opportunities to put your business info in front of an audience that's interested in the local business economy, and network with other leaders, business owners, and interested individuals. If you'd like to sponsor an event, cater an event, host an event, or speak at an event, please reach out and let's talk about what fits into your schedule so we can put you on the calendar!
