“Tis the season” as they say. I’m already hearing holiday tunes, seeing lights, ornaments,

and other lawn fixtures around the towns. As many of you may, I too, enjoy this time of year for the comradery I get to have with my Family, Friends and others within the communities.

So along with the holiday spirit I would like to first off give thanks to our current Board of Directors, General Members and Staff of the Quad Area Chamber for your continued commitment to this Chamber. I would also like to thank all those that helped in making our Annual Event in October a success. I have been hearing many testimonials on how this chamber has been helping them grow their business the more they get involved. After one of our monthly breakfasts I had a member pull me aside and say “Hey, I wanted to let you know after you had our company as the Featured Business in one of your newsletters I received a call from a local company wanting to work together and it has been a great asset to us ever since” said Doug Boe owner of Boe Ornamental Iron Inc.

We currently have over 50 active members, 10 Board members, 1 staffed employee and are growing every month. We have many opportunities to get more involved within the chamber from becoming a Director on our Board (openings are available currently please contact the chamber office for more details) to joining our Ambassadors Club. We also have multiple events that are on the docket for this coming year such as Golf Tournaments, Business Expos, New networking Lunches & Evening Socials, Business Symposiums etc. so please stay tuned and stay involved.

I am ecstatic about this chamber and know we are going to make a big impact within our community for the greater good. The Quad Area Chamber of Commerce is the only chamber that focuses strictly on our four communities (Lino Lakes, Circle Pines, Centerville, & Lexington). If you are a person that has a passion for this Quad Area and want to ensure that we continue to grow together in a positive direction, please contact myself, anyone of our Board Members or even current General Members on how to get involved.

Sincerely your Community Friend,

Mitch Rehbine
