Last week's top recruiting team was Cathi Schlosser and Jerry Reynolds, who together recruited 16 new members. Congratulations to them and to all the energetic volunteers who helped in the recruiting effort.

Currently, the Cape Girardeau ranks first in the state in its population category of 50,000 and under. In fact, the Cape Chamber ranks fourth in Missouri in total membership, behind only St. Louis, Kansas City and Springfield, with their much larger populations. It is good that even with these impressive numbers and participation, our chamber isn't resting on its laurels. And if you're not already a chamber member, consider joining and becoming an active member in its many worthwhile activities.
