Executive Director's Letter



                                    On a Positive Note….


                                    Happy October!! Wow, where has this year gone?



                                    What a great job the Eastern New Mexico State Fair Board did yesterday
                                    with the parade and the kickoff to our annual Eastern New Mexico State
                                    Fair. Now, if only the weather will permit, however, I think I can speak
                                    for everyone that this lovely rain is welcome with open arms and greatly
                                    needed!! So, put on your rain gear and rain boots and enjoy it while it’s here.


                                    One day, while going through some old Chamber pictures I stumbled across
        Candace Purcella            some letters and financials dated back in 1965 and 1966, I did get a good
        EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR          laugh at some of the intuitive ideas that the Chamber President wrote to

        his board to encourage volunteerism and to get those “membership dollars up”. While getting a good
        little chuckle thinking, oh my, they had the same issues as we are having now fifty some odd years ago. I
        noticed the Chamber logo and thought to myself how things loop back around. It’s simple, it’s three
        letters that we have adopted (before seeing all of this) in today’s marketing strategy explaining WHO
        WE ARE…. RCC Roswell Chamber of Commerce.


                – relationships, we build and enhance
        R  relationships through our networking
        events and our referral service.

        C  community wide organizations and
        proudly dedicate time and effort to promote

        C  businesses and encourage everyone to
        keep your dollars here to grow our economy

        This is a little throw back that we are breathing
