I'm just getting home from the Chamber Business After Hours event that we co-hosted with Run of the Mill and from all accounts it was a HUGE SUCCESS!! Thank you to all of you who were able to make it.
A great big THANK YOU to Karen Chasse for organizing a great event. Thanks to Don Lauzier for facilitating our connection with the Biddeford-Saco Chamber of Commerce. And thank you to Bernice Wood for doing such a great job promoting Rotary to so many people tonight.
I expect we will gain some new members from this event, if not tomorrow, not too far down the road.
Thanks again and have a great night.
