Dear Chamber Members,
First of all a big thank you to all who golfed, sponsored or volunteered for our 28th Annual Golf Outing. The weather turned out great and it was a fantastic day of networking and connecting with Chamber members. We are working on getting all the photos together, stay tuned as we will post all team photos on our website.
On Wednesday, August 18 we will be at Maranatha Baptist University welcoming new teachers and staff at the New Teacher Breakfast. Today is the last day to drop off items for the goody bags for the teachers. If you still want to get involved reach out to barb@watertownchamber.com or call our office at 920-261-6320.
The last event of August is Business After Hours at Local Waters. Mark your calendar for Thursday August 26th and stop in for this great networking event and meet the team at one of our new Chamber member businesses.
As you can see from our cover photo we are getting ready for our 5th Annual Wine Walk being held on Thursday, September 9th. We greatly appreciate MK Cellular for being our premier sponsor for the event. There are limited sponsor opportunities for the event this year, click here to see more details.

Surprising the couple with the award was Brandon Schulz, president and CEO of the Wisconsin Grocers Association.The Wisconsin Grocers Association is the Wisconsin food industry's trade association with more than 750 members, and the Grocer of the Year Award is its most prestigious award. Presented annually, the award is given to a WGA member who makes significant contributions to the industry and community.
In presenting the award, Schulz said, "This recognizes the great job you do. You worked hard to get to where you are today," he said in the entrance to the store at 1330 Memorial Drive. More than 35 family, friends and employees were on hand for the award presentation.
The couple along with a business partner, built the Watertown Piggly Wiggly in 2007. In 2008, Jeff and Cindy became sole owners and in 2017, purchased the Piggly Wiggly in Waterloo. They have six children, three of whom served in the military with a combined five active tours of duty, along with four grandchildren.
Over the last 14 years, Jeff and Cindy have donated to countless community organizations and non-profits, with donations ranging from product, money, gift certificates, and their own volunteer time. They believe in investing in the community to help all of those in need, those who protect us, and to help with the education of our future generations.
