Diabetes Research Foundation.

CUNA Credit Union, donated a total of
$12,400 to The United Way of Dane County
and United Way of Columbia County. In

OPERATION THANK YOU
by Amy Torgeson
The GMCC will once again execute
“Operation Thank You” in the month of
January. As a salute to our members, GMCC
representatives will hand deliver the brand
new 2006 member directory.
GMCC ambassadors and staff will visit your
place of business to say hello, deliver a
directory, and get a chance to see firsthand
how your business functions. This is an
opportunity for you to meet GMCC
ambassadors and staff and talk to us about
membership … we want to hear what you
think!
We extend a special
thanks to Lands’ End
Business Outfitters,
sponsor of the GMCC
ambassadors, for its generous support. Lands’
End operates on the principle that what’s best
for the customer is also best for the company.
As a result, customers have learned to expect a
high level of service at all times—from
initiating the order, to receiving help and
advice, to speedy shipping, and further followup
when necessary. Lands’ End Business
Outfitters is committed to producing highquality
products bearing your company logo for
all corporate
needs.

all sizes,
including
nine out of

good
names on
Lands’
End Business
Outfitters’ products for quality team apparel,
employee incentives and customer gifts.
The 2006 member directory includes a
listing for each member in alphabetical order
as well as by business category. The GMCC
Member Directory is used by over 2,500 Dane
County member businesses as a sales and
marketing tool. It’s distributed throughout the
year to all new members as a part of the
GMCC Membership Kit. The directory is also
available for purchase throughout the year by
nonmember businesses and individuals looking
to conduct business with GMCC members.
Wish you recognized GMCC board
members, ambassadors and staff when you see
them at events You’ll find pictures and
contact information for these three important
chamber branches in the directory, so you can
get to know us all a bit better. You’ll also find a
complete 2006 calendar of events to help you
