The newsletter of early 1988 begins on the upcoming events and recent successes, including a page of their print-out for the "Murder a la Carte" at Behind the Times Theatre, followed by member news and a section on the sixth annual chowder cook-off. There are tips for managers, then a list of new and resubscribing members of the Chamber. After this is a three-page excerpt of the California Chamber of Commerce's "Alert" newsletter, and lastly a wall of Chamber member advertisements.
