The Nashville Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors met yesterday for a busy meeting. Due to the busy holiday season, they had not met for their 2nd monthly meeting for the past couple of months, but agreed to get back to that schedule to allow time to go over the bylaws and revise them, as they have not been revised for more than a decade. New Director, Doris Povolish, told the Board that she was busy cleaning the office and straightening up the storage room. She has also been getting things and lists together for the Membership Drive. That committee will meet next week and get the mailings ready. They discussed some comments made during the December meeting about Gutzler’s Donuts closing, but that has since been found to be untrue, as Gutzler’s Donuts will continue to be open and serving the community of Nashville with fresh-made donuts. In an effort to get more information out about the businesses of Nashville and what they do, members are welcome to be speakers at the General Membership meetings on the 2nd Wednesday of each month. If anyone is interested, contact the Director at 327-3700. There was a suggestion of having a Moonlight Madness event in the spring, as well as in the fall, so the Board is investigating the possibility of this new event. The topic of ribbon cuttings came up and that is available to any new or re-opening business, not just Chamber members. Look for ribbon cuttings at the Bakery Nook and Rachel Kried Photography in the future. The Volunteer of the Year Banquet is coming up in March and ads will be in the paper for a few weeks asking for nominations. They will be gathered and presented at the February General Membership meeting for voting. Board Member Tom Speedie was voted as President Elect and will succeed Pam Smith next year. The Board had an opening and offered it to Brian Rusiewski, who has been an active member and volunteer for several events. He accepted the position. That brings the Board back up to the seven member roster. Smith reported that there were 310 kids, and some adults, that visited Santa at his house in front of the Washington County Courthouse this past year. The next Board meeting will be on Wednesday, January 21st, while the next General Membership meeting is Wednesday, January 14th at Little Nashville at noon and lawyer Tom Speedie will get everyone up to date with some of the new laws that could impact them.
