FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Dear Chamber Member:

With the opening of our Wal-Mart Supercenter next month, these are exciting times in Mulberry.  The Chamber Board will hold a retreat on September 25th to focus on planning. We will let each of you know the business plan that comes from that retreat.  

Polk Community College now has the Corporate College schedule for September-December 2003.  Their slogan "forging tomorrow's workforce today" expresses the effort the college is putting forth to encourage students to reach potentioal, professionally and personally.  To find our more information visit www.polk.edu/cwe or call 863-669-2326.

As we draw this Chamber year to a close, I want to thank each of you again for your Chamber support.  Many of you are long-time Charter members and have consistantly sponsored events, attended meetings, and supported the Mulberry community through the years.  The Mulberry Chamber members are the best to be found and you are greatly appreciated!

Best regards,

Dana
