It has been an extremely busy two weeks for our Chamber.  Being part of Teaming to Win, which was held in Fairmont, on its 20^th Anniversary was an exciting experience.  I represented the MCCC on a panel discussion with regional chamber reps to talk about the partnerships that we, as regional chambers, have formed.  There was a very nice crowd and it gave me the opportunity to welcome many visitors to Marion County, along with showcasing the MCCC.  Over 400 people attended the two-day event, with many from other states.  I like to congratulate the Teaming to Win Committee for another successful year and thank Congressman Alan B. Mollohan for taking part in the activities along with attending a leadership breakfast sponsored by the Chamber.

Speaking of events, the MCCC Events Committee has finalized plans for the upcoming Monte Carlo Night, to be held on November 20^th at the Elks Lodge in downtown Fairmont.  Tickets are currently on sale, and I’d like to thank R&E Electric, Time Warner Cable, 94 Rock, Wholesale Carpet, I-79 Honda-Mazda, and Biafore Landscape Development for sponsoring the event.  I think this will be a very exciting evening where we can have lots of fun.  The evening will begin at 6:30 pm with Vegas style table games, entertainment, dining and dancing.  Tickets are $40.00 each and everyone will have the chance to win great prizes, such as 4-night stay at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas (airfare included), 40” Sony LCD TV, Laptop, and much more.  Just call the MCCC for more information.
