It seems that each new week brings an opportunity to serve the chamber members. In 2017 we have had a series of breakfasts that provide an opportunity to network and a learning environment. Last weekend Paula Stritmatter with A Tiskit A Taskit and Carroll Estes with Roadside America manned the booth at the Texas Country Reporter Festival in Waxahachie last Saturday. Chelsea and I also promoted Hillsboro at the event. A few weeks early the chamber participated in an event that provided education on women’s health care matters. You will find pictures in the newsletter. We have had several car clubs and tour groups visit Hillsboro this fall. You will find pictures on the following pages about some of our events and programs.

COMMENTS FROM OUR MEMBERS
The Chamber helps us keep up with local events and has
always done a great job of helping me share with our
guests what there is to do in Hillsboro. Vicki frequently
provides me with the tools to tempt some of our "just
passing through" guests -- into guests who come back
again. I specifically love having the updated restaurant
guide so that I can easily recommend the "right" restaurant
for each guest based on their preferences and what is
available--instead of sending someone towards a "closed"
restaurant due to hours of operation or outdated
information. Sondra Smith, Quality Inn
Thank you for supporting the Hillsboro Youth Sports
Association. The Yellow Bags with goodies were a big hit
at the State Tournament. Bruce Urbanovsky
We rely on your calendar! It keeps us informed.
Mary Alice Eastland, Hillsboro Heritage League
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your
support in putting together the Job Fair…you did an
outstanding job…Everything was professionally done.
Laura Harborth, Gate Precast Company
Working with the chamber to build community has value
as we strengthen the business environment.
Karen Doskocil, Lone Star Ag Credit
We are excited to once again sponsor Halloween in
Hillsboro. Thank you for the chamber’s encouragement
and support last year. This year will be bigger and better.
Rhett Reddell, R & R Fitness
The Chamber helped promote Dickey’s BBQ Pit by
encouraging volunteer participation in the Ambassador
program and chamber events.
Tammy Garrett, Dickey’s BBQ Pit
"...No Chamber of Commerce in our 40 years as business
owners, has been more welcoming, been more attentive,
been as willing to listen to suggestions and ideas, or
tendered more tangible value than you and your team at
the Hillsboro Chamber…”
