Our December member’s gathering was a special one.  We gathered at Pearce Community Center for an evening Christmas party/dinner catered by Castaways Catering and to present our Annual Chamber Member awards. We presented three awards this year to the following:  Matt Kenady, Edward Jones Financial Advisor received the “Above & Beyond” award for all his extra volunteer hours and efforts for the Chamber and the Community, Shirley Loser with Covered Wagon Crafts received the “Longevity” award for being our longest term member as well as acknowledging her as one of the longest term retailers in downtown Chillicothe, and the Chillicothe Public Library received “Member of the Year” for all their contributions to the chamber as well as the City of Chillicothe.  Congratulations to all.
