During a recent link board meeting, discussions centered on the potential use of opioid settlement funds by local communities, particularly in relation to the city of Bridal. Community leaders have approached the link about donating a portion of these funds to support its initiatives, indicating a possible new revenue stream for the organization.

Since its inception, the link has recorded over 11,000 contacts, highlighting its growing role in the community. The board plans to reconvene in October, with representatives from Pima County, Arizona, expected to attend. This collaboration aims to explore successful strategies employed by Pima County, which has seen positive outcomes in engaging with individuals who typically utilize link services.

Additionally, the chamber board meeting resulted in the election of new officers, with the chamber's annual meeting scheduled for October. This event will feature a performance by the band REO Speedwagon, offering fans of classic rock an opportunity to enjoy live music while supporting local initiatives.
