Syracuse Chamber Has New Director

By Staff Report-

SYRACUSE - The new executive director of the Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce is off to a running start.

Kristi E. Young took on the duties of executive director on Jan. 26, exactly one month before the Taste of Home Cooking School event. Young is stepping up to the challenge of presenting a successful community event by bringing together the resources necessary in the allotted time.

Although she is thrilled to be taking on this project, she was initially worried about the short amount of time left to plan the event. This is no longer a concern.

"Everything is falling into place," said Young, "and tickets sales are starting to take off."

The Taste of Home Cooking School will take place Feb. 26 at 7 p.m. at the Syracuse Elementary School Gymnasium. Between 1,000 and 1,500 attendants are expected to be present. The Taste of Home Cooking School presentation is for everyone, from a novice to an experienced cook.

Prior to coming to Syracuse, Young lived in Pennsylvania, where she worked at Verizon Wireless. She has degrees in business and economics from Muskingum College, where she graduated magna cum laude.

Tickets for "Taste" are $13.50 and can be purchased at the Syracuse Wawasee Chamber of Commerce (200 E. Pickwick Drive, Suite B), Remax Integrity (1406 S. Huntington St.), Cool Beans Espressos (109 N. Huntington St.), Syracuse Community Center (1013 N. Long Drive), U4 Com (200 E. Pickwick Drive) or the Village Florist (306 S. Huntington St.).

To purchase tickets by mail, you can send a postage-paid and self-addressed envelope with a check made out to the Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce to P.O. Box 398, Syracuse, IN 46567. If you have any questions, call Young at 574-457-5637. [[In-content Ad]]
