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.
– Community, we support all
C community wide organizations and
proudly dedicate time and effort to promote
and foster community Pride and Spirit.
– Commerce, we support Chaves County
C businesses and encourage everyone to
keep your dollars here to grow our economy
and to support our youth.
This is a little throw back that we are breathing
