At lunch with the Chamber Ambassadors
(Talk of the Town by Jennifer Zartman Romano)
The Whitley County Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors met last week at Papa John's Pizza in Columbia City to discuss activity plans for the next several months. The Chamber Ambassadors present monthly "Business of the Month" awards to local businesses who've gone above and beyond in service to the community. They also serve as public relations representatives for the Chamber and attend ribbon cutting events to celebrate new businesses in the community. Instead of meeting at the Chamber office in recent months, the Ambassadors have been hosting meetings around the community at randomly selected eateries in hopes of making a small, but significant impact on the economy. Above, from left, are several of the more than a dozen Ambassadors. From left is Randy Holler of Crossroads Bank, Cari Wells of First Source Bank, Kristi Maloney of Sycamore Village, Trudy Miller-Longhenry of Simonson Estates Apartments and Michelle Culbertson of the Whitley County Chamber of Commerce.
