Another great meeting for the Harrison Chamber of Commerce and guests.  We actually ran out of seats!  This caused a little problem but showed us at the Chamber that we are growing stronger with each meeting and are  becoming a stronger organization due to this dedication and devotion by our Executive Board and our wonderful members.

God Bless and we only hope to run out of room at our next meeting, it means we are doing something "right".
