Hello Kathy,
School bells will be ringing soon, so let's make the best of what summer we have left!
We're kicking off our school year with a great Mixer at Jim Vreeland Ford. August 16th from 5-7pm. We hope you can join us for our end of summer party complete with California Taco, local beer and wine and I've heard they may be giving away a Bronco! Hope to see you there!
We have some great events coming up this fall, so be sure to check them out and mark your calendars.
Also, we have began sales for our Member Directory and Community Resource Guide. You may receive a call from Lure Creative, so please know they are working with our Chamber. This is a great opportunity to get you in front of our members and community. The guide will serve as a local resource guide and a relocation guide for when people move to our area. Get your business noticed in our guide.
Be sure to see what our members are up to and let us know if you have anything going on that we need to know about.
Thank you for your continued support!

Leadership Circle
A new membership structure
| |
|
We have designed 5 new levels of membership that include a variety of benefits at each level. Rather than reaching out for sponsorship every time there is an event, we have developed ways for you to participate at every level. We feel this will streamline the process, save time, and provide you with the exposure you choose.
You will receive a letter with your invoice, when your membership comes due, that will cover all of these details. Please feel free to reach out at any time with questions. We look forward to serving you in a more simplified way and hope you find a level that works for your business.

August
Stormwater Tip of the Month
How can you reduce litter in your community? Make sure and use the designated trash and/or
recycling containers at our parks and public areas to dispose of your trash or take it home and
place it in your own trash or recycling bins. Keep your bins covered to keep trash from blowing
into your yard or the street. Let’s keep our community clean!
| |
Water Conservation Tip of the Month
Summertime Outdoor Watering Tips: (1) Step on the grass and if it springs back, it doesn’t need
water; (2) Leave your grass long so it retains moisture and requires less watering; (3) Take a
sprinkler break, and let your grass grow naturally – it does not need to be green year-round. Visit
the EPA’s Water Sense website for more helpful watering tips.
