Becker Area Chamber of Commerce met for their monthly meeting recently at Charlie’s Bar & Grill. Amy Drehmel from Compassion Connection, one of the featured speakers, was grateful for the recent coat drive held by the chamber that brought in 105 coats. Compassion Connection was started by foster/adoptive moms with a desire to help bridge the gap between foster families and caregivers and those who want to help by meeting practical needs and providing support beyond the system. They have since included caring for all families in need through their resource center. For more information one may contact her at 815-980-9633. (Submitted Photo).
