This meeting and next week’s will be held at the Irish Times Pub & Restaurant in Laurium.
Attendance: 21 - Better, and "Welcome Home Tom."
The Meeting: After some preliminary comments about the Irish Times as a meeting place, Dan Dalquist introduced the program, Keweenaw Peninsula Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, Richard Baker, who gave an update on Chamber activities. Richard said that one of his most common questions is, “What does the Chamber do?” to which he responds, “whatever is necessary” from answering a myriad of telephone and e-mail querys to preparing "Relocation Packages." He said that the KPCC website has received 1.9 million hits so far. In addition he and his staff try to meet the needs of the 520 members.
It was an excellent presentation to which CLK members responded enthusiastically.
At the conclusion, Andy presented Richard with our new speaker gift, a handsome coffee mug.
