Thank you to everyone who joined us for our AI Fundamentals for Small Business working breakfast! It was a fantastic session full of insights into how AI is shaping the business landscape and practical ways small businesses can use AI responsibly and effectively.

A special thanks to our facilitator, Corrie Dark, for sharing her expertise on AI, ethics, and customer insights, helping our local business leaders move beyond hype and make smart, ethical, and commercially sound decisions.

Welcome! As a member of our Chamber of Commerce we look forward to meeting you soon!

Thought I'd take the opportunity on this sunny Saturday afternoon to introduce myself.

I'm Kimberley, the new owner of Montville Art Gallery.

I'm a Central Queenslander who is settling into Hinterland farm life with my partner and our animals. As an avid art lover and regular visitor to Montville, I've always had a sweet spot for this particular Gallery. Those who frequent the village will know exactly what I mean; this classic old building and the wares it contains make it very difficult to forget.

Thanks to the incredible artists we represent for making me feel so welcome. Thanks to those Montville business owners who have dropped by to say hello and offer warm words of encouragement.

The biggest thanks of all goes to my predecessors Wayne & Tracey Malkin. For the past 9 years you have created an oasis in the middle of this busy little town, and a place artists know their work will be thoughtfully displayed and admired by hundreds of visitors each week. You have been so generous with your time and knowledge, and I am eternally grateful.

I look forward to seeing you all in the Gallery someday soon.
