[chambernews] Fwd: FW: News from SACK

Thu Apr 19 13:03:23 CDT 2012

Dear Members,

I just met with Karla Filibeck who's the Health Organizer and 
Coordinator at the Kanabec County Public Health SACK division. She 
shared with me many interesting and very important actions being taken 
by the SACK organization this morning. I would like to be able to share 
this information with you as she would like to get our local businesses 
involved - especially businesses who employ teens and young adults. At 
some point in the near future, I hope that you meet her, she's a young, 
energetic, resourceful and thoughtful woman who stands ready to make a 
difference in our community!

Secondly, within the last week, $2200.00 in chamber cash has gone out 
into the community. This is so awesome for our local chamber member 
businesses! If you have any questions about how this is utilized, please 
let me know. To answer this briefly, chamber cash can only be spent at 
chamber member businesses. When your businesses receive it, you just 
stamp the back as you would any check and send it through your bank. It 
is Mikkr encoded so it routes through to our account at Kanabec State 
Bank where your business will be paid just as a regular check would. It 
would be appreciated if the spender would sign the front in the 2 places 
when they redeem it - like a travelers check.

Good?

Thank you ~
Karen.
