 By John Martin, Flintco, Inc.
The chamber is alive and well and is continually moving our community's
betterment efforts forward. The conditions of business are dramatically

The chamber

relationships which will advance the livelihood of our community. Each event and
effort expended has created a tighter bond with the chamber and its members. If
your search for an organization to advance your efforts and goals has left you
confused and disheartened, I encourage you to move forward with the mission and
efforts of the chamber. Read more
