If you or an employee of an area company are new to Yankton in the last year or are ready for

a better connection to Yankton because of a new stage in life, or you’ve been here and you

are ready to meet other women, the Yankton Area Chamber of Commerce Women Community Leaders Committee invites adult females to attend the “WelcomeLink” Open House. The open house will be Tuesday, July 27, 2010 from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at the Yankton Chamber & Visitors Center located at 803 E. 4th St. Light refreshments are being provided by Southeast South Dakota Chapter Society of Human Resource Management (SE SD SHRM).

One of the goals of this committee is to welcome and link newcomers. The intent is to create

an avenue for female adults to come together and be introduced to other newcomers, get to know

someone to contact, gain information and ask questions about the area so they might feel

more at home in Yankton. We want to help newcomers establish friendships, network

and learn about Yankton all at the same time. The message we want to send is “You don’t have to

be brand new in Yankton or the Yankton area”. It is open to all women who have newly arrived

or are long-time female residents who may be in another stage of life.

During the Open House people will be able to come and go. Those attending will have a chance to

meet other new women, learn more about the Yankton Community during on-going presentation

in the background by the Yankton Convention & Visitors Bureau, and meet women from the community who will assist you in helping make you feel even more welcome as they are there to

answer questions, have a conversation and show support that a newcomer may just need.
