THIS IS THE KIND OF SERVICE YOU GET FROM NICK SLECHTA AT THE CHAMBER OFFICE

An elderly couple came to the Chamber office. The gentleman asked Nick if he had any coffee. Nick said that he didn't but that he thought he could locate a cup for him.

Nick flew out the front door, long legs churning, with his Styrofoam cup in hand to Paden’s Restaurant, but the coffee wasn't on the burner yet. Then he went next door to Kelly Headley's beauty shop. No coffee brewing there yet. She recommended the barber shop across the street...no luck there either. Then he went to the Post Rock Rural Water District office where he was sure to complete his mission. He struck out again, but they said they would put some on. At this point Nick said he'd check with the Senior Center where he found a steaming pot of coffee. Finally...SUCCESS!. He hurried back to his office just in time to greet the couple coming out the door. The man was delighted to get the cup of coffee and Nick was pleased he could comply with the man's wishes.

Now, that is Nick Slechta's way of doing things. He has a long history of good deeds and is doing a terrific job recruiting new Chamber members and providing people with information they want. He's just what the Chamber needs.
