Other stuff:
The Wharton Chamber’s membership committee went to OakBend Medical Center’s Wharton Campus to lift the spirits of healthcare workers, having to dig even deeper to care for the growing number of Covid patients.
The presentation on Wednesday consisted of cookies, lemonade, custom-made lollipops, and a very, very large “thank you” card. Hats off to chamber membership chair, Debbie Folks, for organizing.
And, we are busy planning all of the chamber’s fall and winter events. If you would like to join as a volunteer, give us a call!
