Chamber picks winners

RANGELY — The chamber has selected the 2008 community award winners in the areas of volunteer, business and educator of the year.
The names will be announced at Septemberfest and the commemorative awards will be distributed then. In other business it was decided that the board members will look at becoming bonded since they deal with handling community funds and also they will secure liability insurance to cover themselves and the functions they sponsor.
The operating bylaws were amended to state that event chairpersons must submit an event plan for approval to the board, especially if awards or monetary amounts are to be given in the chamber’s name.
Various souvenir items promoting the Rangely area were discussed and several different vendors will be contacted. Community welcome baskets continue to be distributed to new residents and businesses and a committee meeting will be called shortly to assemble more as demand dictates.
