Greetings from the President… As the leaves turn into the most beautiful colors ever our thoughts automatically turn to Thanksgiving and the colder weather. Hopefully, we will have a milder winter this year! But I have heard that might not be the case!

Thanksgiving is a time for reflection on our many blessings. It seems that we kind of overlook them a lot in every day life!

Here at Berea Chamber of Commerce, we are planning our Awards Banquet for November 19 at the Berea Church of God. Be sure and save the date and purchase tickets for the event!

Right behind that is our Christmas Parade on December 5th. Call the Chamber office if you would like to help, have a float, etc.

Here’s wishing you a blessed Thanksgiving with lots of food, friends, family and loved ones! Sincerely, Nola

Nola Newman, President Berea Chamber of Commerce
