I didn’t make it to each building this (Tuesday) evening before I had to go to the city council meeting, but as you can see, the improvements at the Clinton Schools are fabulous. You could feel the pride and the enthusiasm from the kids at Henry Elementary all the way up to the instructors and administrators in each building. Congrats to everyone involved in Operation Cardinals! David Lee

The Greater Clinton Area Chamber of Commerce is giving you the chance to win…several chances to win, actually.
For the 6th year in a row, it’s the Clinton Chamber’s ‘Receipt to Receive’.
Folks can now bring in a receipt from a Clinton Chamber business that’s a retail business or restaurant, or email that receipt, and you will then be entered to win. Thus…Receipt to Receive.
At the Chamber, we will copy or scan that receipt and get your name and phone number.
Keep in mind that the item(s) on your receipt must be at least $25 in purchases on that receipt and those items need to be purchased from members of the Clinton Chamber to be entered, but you can enter multiple times each week with different receipts.
Each week, those receipts will be entered into a drawing to win a $25 Chamber gift certificate. We will give our prize away each Monday. To be entered to win each Monday, you must bring at least one receipt to the Chamber that previous week. All qualifying receipts will be eligible for our grand prize giveaway.
On Christmas Eve, we will take ALL those receipts entered and draw the big winner of $200 in Chamber certificates.
The Clinton Chamber of Commerce is giving away $400 in Chamber gift certificates with our eight weekly winners and that grand prize winner of $200 in Chamber gift certificates.
We are open Monday through Friday from 8am until 4:30pm at 200 South Main St.
You can find a list of Clinton Chamber members when you go to www.ClintonMO.com, call the Clinton Chamber at 660-885-8166, email joyce@clintonmo.com, or look for the Clinton Chamber decal near the front of each business.
Once again, receipts will only be accepted from Chamber retail businesses and restaurants.
Good luck!
