At its December meeting, Schroon Lake Chamber of Commerce members elected a new President, Vice President and board of directors.

The new President is Tony Kostecki, from the Seagle Colony, officially taking over a role he has been filling in since former President Mike Bush had to step down mid-term, due to his travel schedule with his position at Word Of Life.

The new Vice President is Shelby Davis, a venerable whirl-wind who has had her hand in multiple Chamber events since settling in Schroon just two short years ago, when she and her partner Chris Palmatier opened Mr. P’s Mountain Smokehouse and Shelby’s Kitchen Therapy.

“We really want to grow the Chamber and its membership,” Shelby Davis told Schroon Laker today

The secretary-treasurer is Pete Johnson and the board members are Anthony Ruiz, Sharon Piper and Tim Vanderwhiele.

Editors Note: We goofed. An earlier version of this story incorrectly identified Julie Saywers as a board member and had mistakenly omitted Anthony Ruiz. We sincerely apologize for the error.

So far, the roads are in good shape, thanks to the Highway Department. The most recent forecast from the National Weather Service predicts accumulations up to 7 inches for the Schroon area. If you know about a cancellation, let us know in comments. If you are not in Schroon, enjoy the snow show after the jump:
