The Chamber Visits Rotary
In this photo, the Devil Pup recruiter is presenting President Wittwer a token of his appreciation for our support with the Devil Pup program.
Our main presenter last week was Gregg McArthur, the Executive Director of the St. George Chamber of Commerce. The fourth (4th) largest Chamber of Commerce in the state of Utah. Gregg gave us some great information on the Chamber, who they are, what they do, why they do it and how they do it. We appreciate him taking time out of his schedule to come talk to us and keep us up to speed on what is going on not only with the Chamber but around our community.
