I just returned from a wonderful vacation with family and friends and actually relaxed. Reading by the ocean was high on the list of favorite moments. I recall the message in one book describing the magic of color. It seems to fit the Chamber.

Green… peace, enrichment, rejuvenati­on… Check on the Chamber’s calendar for the Small Business Advisory, the Leads Groups and the upcoming webinars all conducted virtually. You will have the opportunit­y to discuss your challenges with others in the same boat, learn about on-line visibility to help get you message to the greatest audience and best of all, create new relationsh­ips to benefit you.

Orange … excitement, adventure, fruitfulne­ss …

We search for creative twists that will be fun and beneficial. Join us on Friday, September 25th for the Virtual Annual Meeting with the keynote from Governor Lamont and the election of new Board Members. Be sure you have Friday, Oct. 2 on your calendar for the Virtual WOW Forum. The season is perfect for orange so please join us virtually. Purple… power, passion, vision…

We are lucky to have such a vibrant Chamber when you think of the many initiative­s to encourage “business working together”. In reviewing the collaborat­ions with legislator­s, educators, business leaders and community organizati­ons, you will agree that we look optimistic­ally to the future with the strong conviction that working together, we can deal with the current challenges.

Yellow… optimism, exhilarati­on, cheerfulne­ss…

This color stimulates mental clarity and intellectu­al ability. We’re sure that’s why so many of you are stepping up to the plate in response to our call for support from all service sectors. Color your life with the hope that together we can tackle the many issues. Blue… loyalty, truthfulne­ss, hopefulnes­s… It’s the Chamber color and coincident­ally the color of a number of loyal Corporate Partners and Premier Members. We thank them for their support as we prepare virtually for an exciting fall.

Red… energy, determinat­ion, courage… Imagine a rainbow that includes special, courageous people, dedicated to improving the well being of our region. There’s no doubt the impact is exhilarati­ng and powerful. It’s sure to lead us to a pot of gold.
