Brenda Thornton, new executive director of the Potsdam Chamber of Commerce, met with Rotarians on the heels of the Potsdam Summer Fest. This year's events drew over 60 vendors to Ives Park, over 25 musical acts on the main stage, and established the momentum for a year of activities. The Chamber is looking for committee members to begin work on next year's Summer Fest.
The Chamber has a new web site with links to local retail, dining, lodging, and service businesses and organizations (including Rotary) and over 350 active Chamber members. Next up for Potsdam Chamber will be Fright Night activities on October 25 and 26.
