 The chamber's entry in the annual Main Street Lincoln Christmas Parade included
many past chamber presidents; Bobbi Abbott, the immediate past executive
director; and many current chamber ambassadors and board members; along with
current staff.
The chamber's planning committee for the anniversary celebration thought this
very well-attended annual event in the community was a great way to launch the
celebration. The committee is made up of the chamber's current president, Eric
Graue; vice president, Don Peasley; executive director, Andi Hake; and past
presidents of the chamber, including Donna Boyd, Deron Powell, Patrick Doolin,
Dave Campbell, John Guzzardo, Bill Marcotte, Mary Conrady, Becky Werth and Bill
Gossett.
The chamber will slowly phase in the new logo throughout the next month and
hopes to be completely in use of the new logo by the beginning of the new year.
In addition to the new logo, the anniversary committee is planning many other
activities, such as special additions to the chamber's annual dinner, scheduled
for Jan. 26; the production of a publication chronicling their 100 years;
partnering with many chamber members to host a celebration downtown on the
anniversary date, June 4, including a giant cake; and a big celebration to cap
off their annual golf outing, June 7, including a band and admission open to the
public.

"We are very excited about our upcoming anniversary," said Andi
Hake. "I am proud to be a part of an organization that has strongly
supported and served Logan County for 100 years. It is my hope that
the decisions we make today will help the chamber continue being the
business leader in Logan County for at least another 100 years."
The mission of the chamber is to advocate, support and unify
local businesses for the prosperity of Logan County.
