NEW LOGO — NEW BUILDING Some exciting changes are happening in the Caro Chamber! Have you heard about the office moving? Ransford-Wasik has purchased the present building from the City of Caro and it will be the future home of Intermission Deli. Plans are that the Chamber will be moving to a remodeled office at 243 North State Street (one block east) in late Spring. The building is located between A Cut Above and Tobacco Road. I f yo u ha v e re ne wed yo ur membership for 2012, you have received a new cling for your door/ window with the new Chamber logo. The logo was designed by Chamber member Travis Thompson of WebVenture. (He was featured in the November/December issue with a First Dollar certificate presentation.) You will be seeing more of the logo on the stationery when we move to the new address. Before the year is over hopefully there is a new look to the website. The logo was designed by color and shape to represent agriculture and growth which are a very vital part of the business community. Plans are progressing for some new events and activities which hopefully will be a help to you and your business as well as to the Chamber and the community. Stay tuned for more information as plans develop! Note: If you have renewed your membership for 2012 and have not received a cling, please let the Chamber office know and they will get you one. The Magical Moments Bridal Show sponsored by the Chamber and Town & Country Bridal was held at the Knights of Columbus hall on Sunday, January 8. Josephine Spaulding, the owner of Town & Country Bridal, did a great job of organizing the event. A nice variety of wedding gowns plus dresses for mothers -of–the-bride and flower girls were modeled during the fashion show. Tuxedos were also modeled for the guys. Many of the attending brides-to-be won very nice door prizes donated by the wide variety of vendors including photographers, caterers, party equipment and banquet hall rentals, DJs, cosmeticians and other wedding specialists. The sponsors awarded a grand prize, a wedding package worth $200, to Danuell Schramski of Kinde.

Page 4 157 North State Street, Caro, MI 48723 We wish to welcome Holzworth Signs to the Caro Chamber. Chuck is a lifelong Caro resident, in fact, the 3rd generation to live in Caro. He and his wife Barb have taught in Tuscola County schools for 33 years and are now retired. Chuck began doing sign work as a senior at the Caro High School in 1973. One of his teachers asked him to do a business sign because he was good in art. Chuck says, “I would never have guessed it would develop into a small business.” He received a teaching degree from CMU with a major in art and taught art at Millington High School. During those years he did sign work along with taxidermy work on the side. For the first 20 some years of sign work, he did everything with a paint brush and enamel paints. In 1990, he gave in to the age of computers and vinyl lettering. One of the things he feels that sets him apart from most sign companies is his art degree and experience of over almost 4 decades. The design aspect and dealing with people have definitely been enhanced by being an art teacher for all of those years. He does residential and commercial - business store fronts, substrates and glass, farms, vehicle lettering, boats, etc. As far as future goals, he doesn’t want to get away from the small town business. He enjoys the personal service aspect meeting new people and doing art and sign work that makes them happy and appreciative. Holzworth Signs is based out of their home at 3696 East Bevens Road. Their hours are generally 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday - Saturday, but those hours are flexible. He may be reached at 989-6735295. days a year.

Wood “Looking forward . . . reaching higher!” . . . that’s the motto Renee J. Wood, PLLC and staff use as their mantra. Renee recently purchased the building at 1491 West Caro Road, Caro (Suburban Homes building on M-81, across from VG’s Store). Renee’s office continues to grow and this building allows much needed space for all of her law firm members to be on one floor together and better utilize space. Also, and most importantly, the building was chosen with safety of the clients in mind. The building is all flat with no stairs, and a large parking lot with no curbs to climb. The law firm has been in business in Michigan s i n c e approximately 2004.Renee Wood is the sole attorney in the firm and has five dedicated, hard working staff members. Our Mission: “The mission of the Caro Chamber of Commerce is to create a positive and productive environment where business can grow and prosper, while enhancing the quality of life in the Caro area.” A year of celebration is underway at Osentoski Realty & Auctioneering. The company is marking its 40th anniversary of serving residents throughout the Thumb. David Osentoski and his mother, Marie, started the company at the family farm along M-53 in 1972. “We always hoped the business would be successful, but no one could have guessed it would grow into the business it is today,” David mused. “We have many, many blessings to be thankful for – first and foremost, our clients and loyal sales agents. We have some agents who joined us in the very first years, and they are still with us today.” David’s father, Ira, had already established the successful auctioneering side of the business in 1950. Osentoski Auction Service is a premier auction company, serving families and businesses throughout the Greater Thumb area. Auction fliers and announcements can be previewed online at www.osentoskiauction.com. “We are very excited about some of the change and improvements we have planned,” David said. “We will be announcing these as they become available to the public.” One improvement already implemented is the company’s social media presence online. Osentoski Realty now has fan pages on Facebook, where new listings or price changes are often posted before announced in local print media. Thumb area residents also can follow Osentoski Realty updates on Twitter. Many Osentoski properties and auctions are also announced on www.craigslist.com (region The Thumb).
