Dear Shippensburg Area Chamber of Commerce,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all you do in the Shippensburg area. You provide a top-notch service that is deserving of much gratitude. You have had such a positive impact in my life both personally and professionally.
I moved into the Shippensburg area 10 years ago. Born and raised in western Pennsylvania, I knew very little about the area. One of my first experiences with your organization was during a visit to the library and a walk through town, which led me right by your office. I stopped in, and was immediately welcomed and given helpful information such as maps and brochures. I learned of the physicians, banks and other businesses in Shippensburg, such as restaurants. I was also made aware of things to do for entertainment and recreation in and around the area. I felt immediately welcomed to the Shippensburg area.
Over the years since then, I have continued to utilize your office and website and have encouraged others to do the same. There have been many changes to Shippensburg since moving here with continued growth both commercial and residential. Most notable for me was the Advanced Wound Healing Center of Shippensburg opening this past year as a branch off our facility located in Carlisle. My position as the Community Education Specialist advocates my visiting and connecting with local physicians, senior living facilities and community centers as well as civic organizations and others. Realizing the impact the Chamber of Commerce has had on me, I immediately urged our affiliate, Carlisle Regional Medical Center for membership into the Chamber. As expected, the knowledge provided through your assistance as well as the opportunities to participate in events such as the Mixers, has proven to be most beneficial in educating our community about the services we at the Advanced Wound Healing Center of Shippensburg offer to them, which in turn, benefits our residents. So thank you, Shippensburg Area Chamber of Commerce for your friendly hospitality, your courteous and helpful service and most of all, for everything you do for the benefit of all those who live and work in the Shippensburg area.
Sincerely,
Suzanne Ream
