ANNUAL DINNER at Vintners INN on July 10, 6 pm
| Chamber members and their guests are in for a treat at this year's Annual Installation Dinner on July 10th. New Member Vintners Inn will be our host for the evening, and they are providing a wonderful meal, hand-selected wines and a beautiful setting for our celebration. Starting with hors d'oeuvres under the tent, there will be a sit down dinner with wine at your table.
Our guest speaker will be Audrey Stevens, Director of the VA Medical Center, which will soon be opening a facility near the Airport. We will also hear from California's Junior Miss 2009, Lauren Xie, who hails from Sonoma County and is an accomplished concert pianist. Tickets are $40 per person - $75 per couple. Call the Chamber office to reserve your seats! Or, pay online at markwest.org. |

New Chamber Board takes office July 1.
| July first starts our Chamber's fiscal year and the beginning of a new Chamber Administration. Walt Smith will take over as President and we will have an entirely new office staff, so please bear with us during this transition period.
Bringing in an entire new office staff was not planned, however, Pat Morelli has decided to resign after 22 years as Office Manager, as have her volunteer office assistants. |

Welcome to "new" staff at the chamber office!
 Jennifer Neylon |
We would like to introduce Jennifer Neylon, in the newly created role of (interim) Operations Manager. As the Chamber continues to grow, and has expanded into a full-fledged Visitors Center, the skills needed in the office have changed to support this growth and expansion. Jennifer brings these skills, and more. She currently holds a part-time position with Lescure Engineers, Inc., and will be sharing her expertise with the Chamber staff and volunteers. She also helped the Mark West Community Services Committee organize and publicize their work in our area, so she is not "new" to many of us. |

Welcome Jennifer & Marlene! |
