Welcome to Chamber Insights - January 2011 In this issue:
The monthly newsletter of the Columbia-Adair County Chamber of Commerce. Editor: Sue StiversThe Purpose of the Columbia-Adair County Chamber of Commerce is to promote and enhance the Business, Cultural, Educational and Civic Well Being of Columbia and Adair County. "Thought For the Month" "A soaring performance starts with a determined effort."President's Vision for 2011 By President Ron Heath At the start of the new year each January, the Chamber President is asked to put forth a vision for what he/she would like to accomplish during the coming year. As I enter my second year as President, here is my vision for the Chamber in 2011.
Corporate Sponsor of the Month - Walker Realty & Auction Service A Special "Thank You" to Walker Realty and Auction Service for starting the New Year out by being the Corporate Sponsor for the first monthly Chamber meeting of 2011. Walker Realty and Auction Service is owned and operated by Richard L. Walker, principal broker and auctioneer. The office is located at 107 Burkesville Street in Columbia, phone # is 384-3661. He has been a broker for the past 38 plus years. Walker started in the real estate business in 1971 as a partner with the late T.M. "Buck" Watson. In 1985, Walker bought out Watson's interest and Watson retired. As a diversified agency, Walker Realty focuses on private and auction sales of homes, acreage, farms, farm equipment, livestock and personal property. He has been involved in the development of 14 subdivisions and has also built and sold approximately 150 homes. He is involved in the development of the "Holladay Place" property on Hwy. 61 South where the new Wal-Mart, Goodwill, Duo-County/Bluegrass Cellular, Five Star, Burger King and other businesses will be locating. Walker has six licensed sales associates, including his wife Marsha who is a broker associate, along with son Dickey, daughter Leigh Ann, brother Billy Walker, Lori Lee and Tammy Walker. At the Chamber meeting last week, Richard said he has enjoyed the real estate business, because he likes talking to and helping people he knows and he gets to meet new people almost every week. He has no plans for retirement because he loves what he does. Richard L. Walker has been a member of the Chamber of Commerce ever since he has been in the real estate business. He is a strong believer in the purpose and mission of the Chamber and has provided leadership by serving as President, Vice President, Board of Directors and as Chairman of various committees. In 2003, Walker was the recipient of the Chambers outstanding business "Man of the Year" award. The Chamber is grateful to Walker Realty and Auction Service and all other businesses who have served as Corporate Sponsors for the monthly Chamber meetings.

For additional information visit the website at www.kyexports.com or contact Sue Stivers at 201 Burkesville Street, Columbia or call (270) 384-4401  Your Columbia-Adair County Chamber of Commerce will again partnership with the Adair County Garden Club in the 2011 Great Backyard Bird Count. Every Chamber member is encouraged to get involved in this project and we would like to encourage all Adair County citizens to do so. The dates are February 18, 19, 20 and 21. This would be a great family project...something that all the family could do together. Count the birds in your backyard, on the farm and roadsides. It would be a great time to get in your vehicle and drive around the lake area, and throughout the county and count the birds. Identify the name of the bird and the number you see. This could be a great outing and a fun time for all family members. Wouldn't it be wonderful if Adair County could be the "Bird Watching Capital of Kentucky?" Bird Watching is a great hobby for many people throughout the US. People are willing to travel for miles to do bird watching. Just think what this would do for the tourism industry. People would be coming to Columbia-Adair County and spending their money...helping our businesses and the economy. By participating in the Great Backyard Bird Count, we could become the Bird Watching Capital of Kentucky...Let's make Adair County #1 in the State this year in bird counts. Adair County has what it takes to make this happen...we have Green River Lake with the eagles and many other kinds of birds, along with our farm land, forest, etc. Can we count on YOU to participate?? For additional information contact any member of President Barbara Armitage or any member of the Garden Club or the Chamber of Commerce, 201 Burkesville Street. Keyboard Shortcuts To Select More Than One File At A Time By Ramie Hutchinson If you've ever had to transfer files from one folder to another, you know that dragging files one by one can feel like a waste of time. Hopefully the following tips will speed up your file selection process. To select files that are not adjacent to one another, open up a folder that has files you want to transfer (Folder 1) and then open the folder you wish to be the destination of the files (Folder 2). Go back to Folder 1 and find the files you want to transfer. Click on the first file so that it is highlighted. In order to select another file, hold down the Control (ctrl) key and select the next file. If you did this correctly, both files should be highlighted. You can select as many files as you want using this method as long as you hold down Control key when selecting the next file. Then proceed to drag and drop the selected files into Folder 2. Now let's say you want to select most of the files in a folder that are listed consecutively, but don't want to have to click on each individual file. First, click on the file that begins the list of files you want to select ion Folder 1, then hold down the Shift key. While holding it down, scroll to the last file of the list you want to select and click it. If you performed this procedure properly all the files in-between the two you selected should be highlighted. Simply drag the entire group to Folder 2 to transfer the files. To select the contents of an entire folder simply click inside Folder 1 and push the keys Control and a (Ctrl + a) at the same time. This command stands for, Select All. Performing this command will highlight all files in Folder 1. Once completed, drag all the highlighted files to Folder 2. Now you are an expert in file transferal. Thank you for reading and keep an eye out for next month's tip. Managing Your Image - Five Keys to Building Trust A recent survey concluded that trust has declined at three out of four workplaces over the past two years. Here are some tips on what you can do to help reverse that trend in your business or organization:Start from a position of trust. You can approach trust in two ways: 1) trust people on the front end and withdraw if they prove unworthy, or 2) withhold trust until you're sure it's warranted. Risk trying No. 1.
Here's proof that it's important to surround ourselves with positive reminders. Studies show that 83% of what we think about is negative. The result: reduced productivity and lower morale. To improve your outlook, try this tip: Write down one thing you've learned each day. Have the list where you can see it to remind you of your accomplishments. An easier option: Keep a picture of a favorite person or vacation spot on your desk. This story was posted on 2011-01-25 06:12:56
