Thank you for taking the time to visit our web site. I suspect that you have heard that the Chamber relies on the strength of its membership, and that it counts on the assistance of volunteers. I would like to renew the call for volunteers. Many times the Chamber staff are asked, "What can the Chamber of Commerce do for me?" An often overlooked response would be "The Chamber provides you the opportunity to improve your health!" Studies have shown a distinct health benefit to volunteering. Consider these examples: 1) volunteering can improve self-esteem, reduce heart rates and blood pressure, increase endorphin production, enhance immune systems, buffer the impact of stress, and combat social isolation; 2) volunteering lowers the risk of physical ill health because it boosts the social psychological factors that healthy people have; and 3) medical and scientific documentation supports that volunteering results in a heightened sense of well being, improves insomnia, strengthens the immune system, and hastens surgery recovery time (see: http://www.getinvolved.gov/newsroom/press/factsheet_health.asp). I hope that this new consideration of how the Chamber can help you will spark an interest in volunteering. It is only with the help of community members and volunteers can the Chamber grow and thrive. Please call the chamber and ask how you can help. Attend mixers and ribbon cuttings. Show your support for our Chamber of Commerce, its business members and our community.Come visit us and see what we as residents of the White Mountains enjoy 365 days a year. Don Stier, Chairman
