Chamber's Blog Celebrates 1 Year of Informing Business Community

One year ago today, on January 28, the Daily Dose came into existence to inform the Northeast Indiana business community about the latest and greatest happenings. Since that time the blog has developed a loyal following and become nationally syndicated!

We hope that you enjoy your Daily Dose! If you do, recommend it to a friend and be sure to send your news and information to us for inclusion in future postings.

Thank you for making us part of your daily routine. For questions about the Daily Dose please contact Nicole Wilkins at nwilkins@fwchamber.org.

New Easter Seals Arc Park
