THE MAQUOKETA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE SEPTEMBER MEETING WAS HELD
AT NOON TODAY AT THE MAQUOKETA COUNTRY CLUB. STANDING TO THE LEFT, STACY DRISCOLL, DIRECTOR OF THE MAQUOKETA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND
ECONOMIC DIRECTOR FOR THE CITY OF MAQUOKETA. HER SALARY IS ABOUT SPLIT BETWEEN THE CITY AND CHAMBER. TO THE RIGHT, MAQUOKETA CITY MANAGER BRIAN WAGNER. BOTH LOOK PRETTY SERIOUS IN THIS PHOTO. NOTE IN BLUE,
CITY COUNCIL WOMAN, MARGO SHOUSE SITTING AT TABLE WITH SENATOR ROGER STEWART. WE ALL NEW THE CITY MANAGER WOULD TALK ABOUT THE FIRE DEBRIS DOWNTOWN AND FOR THAT REASON, I THOUGHT THE CROWD WOULD BE BIGGER THAN IT WAS. ANYWAY, BEING THE OWNER OF TWO GOOD SIZE BUILDINGS DOWNTOWN, I WASN'T GOING TO MISS THE MEETING. I'M CERTAINLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE FUTURE OF DOWNTOWN. SO, I TOOK MY LITTLE DIGITAL CAMERA,
HITCHED A RIDE WITH LEIGHTON HEPKER (PICKED UP JAKE BICKFORD ON THE WAY) AND FIRST ENJOYED A DELICIOUS PORK LOIN DINNER. THEN THE MEETING AND
THE STORY ABOUT IT IS IN TODAY'S "DAILY REPORT" BELOW. REMEMBER...CLICK ONCE ON PHOTO TO ENLARGE IT....OR TWICE TO ENLARGE IT MORE.
THANKS FOR THE VISIT.
