October Meeting Report

The Chamber met at 6:30 on Oct 18 with 16 members present. The Annual Cook-Off was held with a great assortment of food. Tony Martin introduced Lon Stockton and Bill deWindt of MoonStar who were our speakers. Lon spoke on the importance of having a website and Bill spoke on ways of filtering unwanted emails (spam) and protecting yourself against viruses.

Marty Martin gave a report on the last 05 Farmers Market scheduled for 10/21 with the first tricycle race to raise money for CrimeSolvers.

A brief discussion about the way the western part of Virginia has solved illegal dumping and trash clean-up.

Winner of the Cook-Off was Bill Smith, Cumberland Bulletin, our newest member. We're hoping for the recipe. Runner-up was Patti Throckmorton, (who doesn't cook!).
