All members are asked to bring their favorite cinnamon rolls … or use a recipe we’ve used before. Copies of that recipe are available at the gift shop. Our booth will be located somewhat south of the Chamber Office on Main Street and to the north of the entrance of the La Estrella restaurant. This kicks off our Grant County Gives events for 2022.

Auxiliary is hosting Chamber Coffee on Friday, October 14, in the Hospital Lobby. Jeryl Smith and Vana Campbell are chairpersons … and all members are invited to attend at 10:00 a.m. Chamber Coffee attendees will put their names in for a drawing at the close of the meeting to receive a silk flower fall arrangement. Plus the Chamber Coffee will be the beginning of a raffle for an additional fall flower arrangement to be awarded at the close of our Pumpkin Affair on Thursday, October 27 (also a Grant County Gives event). The two beautiful arrangements were created by Linda Lamberson. Thank you, Linda … outstanding work.
Details will be finalized at our October meeting for one final Grant County Gives event: our second Annual Pumpkin Affair bake sale on Thursday, October 27, 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. All members are asked to consider providing goodies for that sale.
