Juneau’s Chamber of Commerce warmed its new offices at the Huna Totem Building with Alaskan Amber beer, Abby’s Kitchen hors d’oeuvres and a chance to grill Alaska U.S. Senator Mark Begich.

“We love our new space. We love our new landlords,” Cathie Roemmich Juneau Chamber CEO, said as she introduced Sen. Begich.

Begich presented a letter of recognition to local caterer Abby’s Kitchen & Catering.

“For a business that has lasted five years and an entrepreneur who has done a good job,” Begich said.

“I know what it is like to own and operate a small business. The threshold of small business is when you make it to five years,” Begich said. “That is a very good sign. That means the odds are with you now.”
