PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

Summer is going so fast!! We are about to start August and where

has the time gone! From enduring mid to high 90 degree weather, to

almost fall like weather we have had the last few days, we need to get

the most out of the nice weather while we still can.

The Jefferson Summer Concerts at Rotary Park is still going on every

Thursday night from 6:30pm – 9pm all the way through the end of

August. So if you haven’t went down to see one of the great bands yet this summer, you really

should check out the new pavilion and see how Jefferson rocks! Also remember our Jefferson

Farmer’s Market is also held every Thursday from 11am-6pm behind City Hall. Take

advantage of all the great vendors and local produce and stay for the show later on!

The Jefferson Chamber of Commerce wants to thank all our volunteers who helped out with the

Fair Bartending this year. Along with the perfect weather we had, it was another great success

for the Jefferson County Fair, fair-goers, and for the Chamber. This is our biggest fundraiser of

the year. It allows us to continue offering scholarships, to give back to our community and keep

our businesses promoted and connected through our great Chamber events.

Speaking of important events, with the end of summer approaching, Gemelichkeit Days and The

Fall Car Show will be here before we know it. If you can volunteer and take part in either of

these great events please contact the Chamber office. A representative from these committees

will also be in touch to see if you, your family or staff is available to help.

Autumn Fest and Fall City-Wide Rummage Sale will also be coming up in a few short months.

If you are looking to participate in this great fall downtown day, you can pick up forms at the

Chamber office. You can also now download the participation forms for Autumn Fest and Fall

City-Wide Rummage Sale from our website.

If you haven’t noticed, our Jefferson Chamber of Commerce has just updated our website to

Wordpress. This will make it easier for Janet and Amanda to keep the site updated with current

information. Please check out the new format and give us a comment on what you think. All

feedback is helpful!

With our new website, there is space to display a logo for each of our Chamber Member

businesses. If you have a logo you’d like displayed on the website, and are a chamber member,

please send it in so we can post it as soon as possible. This is a cool, new added feature that the

Chamber can offer so please send us your logo to attach to your member listing.

“To serve you, our Members and Community through PACE, we Promote, Advocate, Connect and Educate our Members.”

Chiropractic Care Center Jefferson to

It’s been a busy month for me personally. I have just

purchased the chiropractic clinic I have been working at as

an associate chiropractor for the last 5 years. The clinics

name will be changing as of July 31, 2013 to Pain Relief

Chiropractic. I feel Jefferson has a great future and my

time here has been incredibly rewarding. I feel honored

and excited to have the opportunity to continue helping

this community stay healthy and out of pain for as long as

I possibly can.

Thank You
