Haley Webber, president of the Deshler Chamber of Commerce, came in to talk to the Independent Living class last week.
She spoke about how the Chamber tries to help existing Deshler businesses and tries to welcome and help new businesses as well. Chamber sponsored activities such as breakfast with Santa, Easter Egg Hunts, Trunk or Treat, and Deshler Daze were highlighted as potential ways kids could get involved in the community. She spoke about the Chamber's desire to have our youth be involved and about things that our youth have helped with in the past. Thank you for keeping our community strong, Haley!
