NEXT BOARD MEETING: Tuesday, August 5, 2008 at 1:00 PM at Pine City Community Room
NEW EXECUTIVE TEAM: HERZOG & ANDERSON
The Pine City Chamber of Commerce is excited to welcome the newest leaders of the Executive Board of Directors. In 2008, the Chamber will be led by Rick Herzog as Chamber President and Mike Anderson as the Vice-President.
Rick joined the Chamber Board of Directors in 2007 to fill a vacated position and was voted in by Chamber members to serve an additional two-year term. His love of Pine City and his desire to see the community continue to grow will be assets for the Pine City Chamber. Rick has owned and operated Pizza Pub since 1990 and has recently branched out into a new business and opened the doors of Java Joe’s Bistro last week. His son Eric is the manager for Pizza Pub and is the co-owner of All Season’s Service. His daughter Amanda is a senior at UMD majoring in early child development and special education. His wife Kathy has been a stay at home mom through the years and is now getting the opportunity to follow her love of photography and writing. Some of her photography is on display at Java Joe’s Bistro. He has participated on the committees for the 125th Birthday Celebration and the 2007 Freedom Fest. He will be leading the Chamber committee for the 2008 Freedom Fest.
The opportunity to purchase First Insurance Agency is what brought Mike Anderson and his wife to Pine City. The company has since been renamed to Pine Insurance Agency and relocated to an office in the Oak Park Dental Building. “I am very excited about the opportunities Pine City has to offer, both as a business owner and more importantly – for my family.” Mike will work on the Annual Golf Tournament this spring, one of the main fundraisers that the Chamber runs each year.
Herzog and Anderson have stepped forward as leaders of the Chamber of Commerce to serve the business community in 2008, but it’s not a job that they can do alone. The businesses of Pine City sponsor and support the wide variety of events that the public enjoys each year. The annual Pine County Parade comes at a cost of $7000 each year, money that is donated by the businesses and service groups serving Pine City. The annual Holiday Madness, complete with parade, tree lighting, prize giveaways and the holiday lights contest, comes at a cost of $800 each year. Those funds are donated from area businesses, not to mention the number of gift certificates that are donated each year as prizes for the drawings in the park.
Our business community is seeing the same increases in taxes, utilities, and health care costs as any individual. We encourage you to take the time to remember how the business community has sponsored and supported the Pine City Community Events over the years. Be respectful of their commitment to our town and show them the support that they need to continue to be a successful business in our community.
