STREATOR - Mike Neuenkirchen, director of the Streator Area Chamber of Commerce & Industry, will leave the post in November to continue his education. He has been with the chamber for four years.

Neuenkirchen, 32, said he will do graduate work in administration after completing his bachelor's degree, using the experience he has gained in Streator and Aurora.

"It's work I love and will probably continue in it," he said.

The chamber board will seek a replacement.
