Dear Member:                     December 30, 1954
     At the last meeting of the Shakopee Commercial Club, a committee was appointed to investigate an organization known as a Chamber of Commerce. This organization would have as its purpose the promotion of the industrial, commercial, and civic welfare of our community.
     Cities are made the same as men are made. There are certain definite factors that contribute to their making. The highest of these factors is undoubtedly good citizenship. Also, undoubtedly, for many of us, everything we have or hope to have we have received from our community in one way or another. Why not put something into this community by actively showing your interest.
                        Sincerely Yours, 
                        Dr. A. W. Muralt, President
