The Jordan Area Chamber of Commerce is rejuvenating, as evidenced by a recent e-mail to its membership, titled "For Dedicated Eyes Only." It said:

"Chamber Members,

"Here are the top things you need to know:

"... This year we have a MISSION and it is going to take all of us, there is a great book that says you reap what you sow. The Chamber is an organization driven by the membership and when we come together we ALL benefit. That being said there are several volunteer opportunities for the upcoming Bike tour and Art Festival and an all NEW event that is nothing like Jordan has ever seen ... more to come on that later.

"... And lastly know that you all serve a vital role in our community and our future, thank you for serving it well."
