Chamber News

Thank you to all of you who turned out for this informational seminar. I think that it went well and I would like to give a huge thank you to Travis Hopkins for his willingness to present and his generous donations of give-a-ways.

Lastly...Congratulations to our big winners! We were able to give away a Chamber T-Shirt, two $50 services from Travis Hopkins Computer Repair, Microsoft Office Professional 10, and Windows 7. Enjoy!

Our new website gives us the ability to keep you up to date on everything going on in Soda Springs!
