Chamber Secretary:
Dianne Handsaker		 I currently manage Blarney Stone Popcorn in downtown Shannon. I became interested in the Chamber even before the store opened as I see the value that a chamber can have for businesses. When asked to run for the Secretary’s position, I only hesitated due to the extra time needs for the position.  However, I believe the chamber can only succeed to promote businesses and improve the business community if we all contribute and work together.  I would like the chamber to do more business promotions and promote events to drive customers to Shannon and the surrounding area.  I reside just outside of Pearl City with my husband and two kids.  Feel free to stop at the Blarney Stone to discuss what the chamber can do to help your business!
