It's MAY!!! It's pretty cold right now but ... It's MAY!!
As I look at our calendar of events for the next few months, I am wondering how we will all make it with only 24 hours in a day ... that being said, let's all try to remember to take time out of our EXTREMELY BUSY schedules to actually ENJOY all that our wonderful, magical, majestic region has to offer. (check out the events schedule in this newsletter And, as always... visit LakeGeorgeChamber.com OFTEN for a FULL, up to the moment, calendar of events).
Pledge to attend some of the special activities and events, make it a point to visit, shop, play and maybe even stay, with some of our fellow chamber members.
