We have been hard at work at the Chamber the past couple of months with our golf outing and getting things ready for the Thresherman’s Parade.
We have squeezed in some cleaning time as well and were able to donate office supplies to the Boys & Girls Club of Livingston County.
The Chamber was happy to be a part of the groundbreaking ceremony for Wally’s, the vacation center, that is building in Pontiac. A lunch followed at the beautiful Eagle Theater. Wally’s hopes to be open in May of 2020 providing approximately 140 jobs to Pontiac.
