Executive Director's Notes

By Franҫoise Rhodes


We've all been wondering where the visitors are, so I have been calling different tourist centers only to find out we are all experiencing a slow January. One reason the value of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar, this has the snowbirds planning shorter trips or back and forth trips. Another reason is cold weather, visitors to the desert want 70's, not 60's.

RV Parks are picking up and hotels are steady but not packed.

This is why it is vital to market Borrego Springs, we can't wait

for visitors to stumble upon us.


SCAM ALERT

Be aware there is an email going around saying you can purchase the Chamber membership contact list. This is a scam, we do not

sell our membership list. Sorry for the inconvenience.



Thank you to our President's Club Member

Many of the streets in Borrego Springs are named after the brands

(used on branding irons) of past ranches in the area.

Can you name this street?


Correct Answer: El Tejon

Congratulations David Farley


(If there is more than one correct answer we'll draw a winner)



Borrego Community Cleanup
