The President's Desk  by Ron Sefcik
I would not have imagine that I could start the October Desk with the same line as September's Desk...with temperatures in the 90’s...ok, not quite, but it’s still warm. THINK SNOW!!!!
☼ The sign that was to replace the CR687 north sign was used on Red Arrow Hwy west. Details are being worked on to relocate that CR687 north sign to a safer location. I mentioned something special being done on the signs . . . it's still in the works, so keep watching. You will definitely notice it and will be impressed with the caliber of Hartford talent!
☼ If you see anyone defacing our signs, as well as any sign or building, call 9-1-1, the Hartford Police at (269) 621-3225, or Van Buren Co. Sheriff's Department at (269) 657-3101. Remember, the Chamber offers a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of person or persons vandalizing or unlawfully breaking into the premises of any member of the Hartford Area Chamber of Commerce (another good reason for joining the Chamber). ☼ During October, a committee is appointed to work on selecting 3 candidates to serve on the Chamber board for a 3-year period. If you are interested in serving on the committee, or being on the board, please contact one of your chamber board members - their phone numbers and email addresses are listed at the bottom of this newsletter. ☼ At our September meeting, it was decided to move our annual meeting to February due to December being such a busy time. I think this will work out much better for everyone. ☼ In case you haven't noticed, many good items have been added to the Links on the www.hartfordmi.com web site. Just to name a few:
