The first day of June ... As I sit here typing I cannot help but wonder, where is THE SUNSHINE and WARM WEATHER???
Hopefully, the rain will taper off and good weather will roll on in with Tow Trucks, Elvis and Motorcycles.
Our calendar of events is full, full, full for June! Make sure to visit our website (Lakegeorgechamber.com) often as it is updated almost daily. Encourage our visitors to head out into the community and take advantage of all our unique experiences and adventures.
Please put our June Business After Hours Mixer (joint mixer with ARCC) being held on Thursday, June 8th from 5:30-7:30 pm at The Sagamore Resort, on your calendar. This will be a great night. Incredible silent auction items up for bid (if you would like to donate an item or service, please contact us as soon as possible), fantastic food and beverages, and wonderful networking time. Plan on having an amazing time. RSVP at 668-5755 or register on our website.
If you have information you would like us to pass along to our membership, just let us know. That is what this e-newsletter is all about because... Membership Matters.
I hope to see all of you "out and about" throughout the summer and look forward to fun-filled adventures of my own!!
Until Next Time,
