HOLIDAY WISHES FROM THE MADOC & DISTRICT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

‘Tis the season … and in this season, we greet each other in a variety of ways: “Season’s Greetings.” … “Happy
Hannukah.” … “Happy Holidays.” … “Happy Kwanzaa.” … “Merry Christmas.” … All of these bring messages of
good cheer during the month of December.
They wish peace and joy to our fellow travelers on the planet and often express to them an added message
of hope that they will prosper and flourish in the months to come. There’s something about this time of year
that brings people together — as families, businesses, colleagues, and friends – and motivates a celebration
of “community.” As we approach the height of the holiday season, the team at the Madoc & District Chamber of Commerce
would like to thank you for the privilege of serving the surrounding communities. We are grateful for all the ways each of
you supports the work of the chamber through participation, sponsorships and volunteering.
We are also so thankful for your encouragement that comes in the form of notes, letters, emails, and kind words spoken at
just the right moments. Over this past year, your “presence” has been a wonderful “present,” as you have shared your gifts of
time and talent.
The Chamber wishes you and yours a holiday season filled with moments of joy as you find safe ways to celebrate, a heart
full of hope as we look ahead to 2023, and an outlook that is bright, filled with the kind of light we can share with each other.
And like the “Whos down in Whoville” from Dr. Seuss’s famous “How the Grinch Stole Christmas!,” let’s respond to this
holiday season by joining together and celebrating our strong sense of community and the gifts we see in each other. And
like Dr. Seuss once penned, there will always be room for a celebration “as long as we have we… and as we stand heart to
heart and hand in hand.”
We will be excited to enter 2023 with all of you. As always, let us know how we can best support you and your businesses.
As the essential resource for the development of businesses in Central Hastings, and as fellow members of the Central
Hastings community, your Chamber is here for you. We wish you a holiday season and a new year that is happy, hopeful and
bright.
