Eureka Chamber of Commerce Members Exchange Info

Eureka's Chamber of Commerce new executive director Kelly Lubker said she is looking forward to knowing each and every member.  "Whatever you need to grow your business, I'd like to know about and help," she told the large crowd of 65 to 70 attendees at the chamber's monthly luncheon on April 6.

Eureka Police Chief Michael Wiegand told members he predicted a great, community-rich relationship with Lubker. As co-chair of the chamber's at Six Flags Over St. Louis, just held March 26, he said it was the first year ever that he and his staff didn't have to worry about all the details because she had taken care of them ahead of time.

"Kelly is an asset and a breath of fresh air," said Wiegand. "We're glad we got her."

The 12th annual chamber community golf tournament is coming up May 16.
