FROM THE DIRECTOR
We (the trustees and I) are tossing around some new ideas, and we want your input. First: The after-hours have not been as well attended lately, and we would like to know if there is something that you would like to see done different. One option is having guest speakers come. We are currently looking to have a guest speaker in the Spring at the Depot ( Railroad Museum) concerning some new jobs that may be coming our way.
Second: We are looking to have coupon deals that are exclusive (eventually made public) to Chamber Members. For example, your business has an upcoming sale or promotion and a coupon would be sent out ahead of time to Chamber Members so that members can take early advantage of the deal and pass the word out.
Third: We would like to see a community calendar.
Fourth: We would like to see some new events and activities take place in the Willard Area. For example, maybe next winter having a temporary man made ice-skating ring.
Fifth: I would like to give our current newsletter look a face lift.
As always, Please contact me with any questions or concerns: 419-935-1888 or email me at
