    Last night I had the privilege of attending the Miami Springs Airport Area Chamber of Commerce installation of officers in the Tapas Room at Holleman's.  As you can see from the group photo, it was a distinguished group.  Mayor Garcia administered the officer oath.  I paid for our firm, Hankins & Ator, PL to join as a business member.  
    I am committed to seeing the development of business in our community.  It is good for citizens, good for local business owners, and for goodness sakes, it is good for the Florida economy!  The next general membship meeting is on Thursday, August 18 at 6:00 pm at a place to be announced.  I hope to see more businesses join and volunteer to lead.  
    I would like to see the Chamber tap into some of the enthusiam of its new members.  It needs to establish committees with hard working committee chairs and begin organizing more events for our business owners and to benefit our local businesses.  There are a lot of ideas on the table, but it is just like anything else, if only a few are doing the work, only a few have an investment in the success of the ideas.  
    There is a lot of time and talent in Miami Springs -- the Chamber just need to remember to tap into that time and talent to be successful.
