April is here, and the Easter bunny is on its way! Spring is a beautiful time to get outside whether you’re biking, hiking a trail, skydiving or exploring one of the amazing museums in our area.
Exciting News: Our new 2025 Chamber Directories have arrived! Our staff will be mailing them out soon, along with your 2025 decals. If you need a box or a dozen copies, just give us a call. We’d be happy to drop them off or you can stop by the Chamber to pick them up.
Also, we’ve extended the registration deadline for our Chamber cruise, (pricing subject to change) which is open to the public! Contact our office for more information.
“Come sail away with us!”
Wishing you a wonderful and active Spring!
Hope to see you at the next “Event!”
My best,
Cheryl Thibault
President/CEO
