Presidents Message As we finish 2004 and plan for a new year ahead, may we say thank you to so many who have made this year a success. The hard work of so many members is what makes things happen for the Columbia-Adair County Chamber of Commerce. Our Chamber Christmas Party was a great time to enjoy the food, music, and fun of the holiday season. During our party we said goodbye to outgoing chamber directors: Richard Lee Walker, Lewis Garrison, and Joe Payne. New directors installed were: Dave Johnston, Stephen Keen, and Darrell Treece. I look forward to working with these new directors and all other directors and members in the coming year. Thanks so much for the work done by the Board Members, Committee members, and Sponsors in making Christmas in Columbia, and the Christmas Party successful events. I hope you and your family had a Merry Christmas, a Happy Holiday Season, and that 2005 will be a great year for you. - Richard Phelps President A Special Thank You to Local Businesses Christmas in Columbia was once again an outstanding event.
