midcoast — Dear Neighbors;

As we look forward to time with our families, time to relax, or (for the truly driven among us) time with customers this weekend, I wanted to write on behalf of the members, staff, volunteers and board of the Penobscot Bay Regional Chamber of Commerce and wish you a merry Christmas, happy holidays, and a peaceful and prosperous new year.

It has been quite the year here at your local Chamber, with member driven change on a unprecedented and exciting scale. Both members and community support have helped position this Chamber to excel in 2012 and to do ever more on behalf of our communities and our region.

Setting aside business for a moment, I want to thank you for all that each of you do for the community through your generosity, your hard work and investment, your support of local businesses, your donations to local charities, your participation in events and the life of our towns, and through your support of the work of the Chamber. We couldn't do it without you!

Sincerely,

Dan Bookham, Executive Director,

Penobscot Bay Regional Chamber of Commerce
