In her words… “I love the Chamber because it keeps me active in the community and knowing what is going on right where I live. I love how our community comes together in times of need and all of the little things that people do that go unnoticed, but are so appreciated. I grew up in Akron and didn’t have this kind of caring community that we have here. It really makes you remember to “love thy neighbor” and gives you such a sense of family.”
