purchasing, and networking opportunities; IMPROVE
our local business climate by securing more dollars
for transportation and other infrastructure needs;

As a visitor to
my first San Leandro Chamber luncheon in October 2004, I
met Claire Koenig, President of McNely Construction, a
Chamber member. (At the time, I had no idea that Ms.
Koenig would later be named San Leandro Businessperson
of the year!) Claire mentioned that she knew of a church
that might need a construction loan. Within six weeks,
my bank was booking a $4 million construction loan to
the Canyon Creek Presbyterian Church! And this also
benefited the project contractor, McNely Construction,
since we were able to complete this loan some weeks
faster than the bank the church had been working with.
My bank and I are happy members of the San Leandro
Chamber! We look forward to meeting you there.
Kurt Teichmann,
Community Bank of the Bay
