Kim MacGregor is the president of the Greater Dowagiac Chamber of Commerce. She can be reached at kim.macgregor@edwardjones.com.

I saw some of you at the Ice Fest on Saturday. The chili was extra flavorful this year, and it turned out to be a beautiful day for a festival! I hope you can also make it this Saturday to see who will be crowned Miss Dowagiac!

The Lunch-n-Learns the chamber is having are doing very well. Our last was on social media/marketing, and it was very well attended. Please consider taking the time to attend — they are free benefits for you, our members! We are putting together new programs to introduce in the near future. If there are things you would like to see us do, please share!

We are all sad to see Zeke’s close. We have all made great memories there. We hope to fill it soon and make new memories!

Remember, we are here for you. We want to make this chamber better for you. We drive business into this town for you. We are working on more member benefits. Again, any thoughts or wishes, please don’t hesitate to let us know. 

To add to that, if you would like to serve on our board, we are always looking for more folks! Know that you will be asked to work events and be active in the chamber. You can make a difference! Give us a call.

Have a great day!
