Axemen Coach and Australia Day Challenge event coordinator, Spinner Howland, recently joined the Jacksonville Chamber of commerce after attending a networking event and has been very surprised at the response.

"It took one meeting with Tresa Calfee for her to put me in touch with quite a few contacts that could help me find various operation needs around Jacksonville", Spinner said. He also commented on the professionalism that the Chamber has displayed so far.

"They are very organized and so far I have been invited to a ton of events and meetings that they have hosted. Time restricts attending most, but to be honest they seem to very active and I am really impressed by the amount of hands on and personal contact I seem to be able to have with them".
