Chamber Chat: Chamber announces 2013 winners

Hello! I hope you are enjoying this great weather! Our awards banquet held at the Guthrie Job Corps center last Thursday was great, we had a wonderful dinner served by the culinary students!

Chamber President Mary Coffin

Every year the chamber asks our membership for nominations for their favorite and or best Volunteer, Business and Citizen for the past year. Nominations are gathered then sent back out to the membership with detailed descriptions of what that person volunteered for or how involved that citizen was in our community. The votes are sent to me and double verified with Lucy and that is how the winners are selected. Saying that we would like to congratulate Spoonful Pharmacy for being the Business of the Year! Heath Shelton for being the Citizen of the Year and Stacey Frazier for being the Volunteer of the Year for 2013.

Many Christian denominations have been questioning their attitudes about the place of LGBTQ people in the Christian Church. Views are changing about who may be a member, who may be an ordained leader, and whose unions may be blessed. LGBTQ people have always been a part of the Church. What are the best ways of affirming and welcoming them? Want to be a part of this conversation? Join us Sunday evenings at 5p.m. for the entire month of March at Prairie Gothic, 118 South Second in downtown Guthrie.
