Executive Director's Notes

By Franҫoise Rhodes

July is here and even though the valley is quiet time seems to be

flying by.

Jolene sends her sincerest "Thank you" for the love and support she has received from Borregans, that's what we do.

Have you noticed the Chambers refreshed signs? Instead of the grape/purple we went back to our bold fuchsia as on the Chamber website.

Please share the RFP's posted below.

From all of us at the Borrego Springs Chamber of Commerce,

Happy 4th of July!!!!!

BSCC Refreshened Sign

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?

Answer: Camp Kettle Drive

Congratulations Denise L Schmaderer

Borrego Community Cleanup

Borrego's community clean-up is held the first Saturday of every month, commencing at The Circle and fanning out to nearby areas either on foot or by car to pick up litter. The Chamber provides bags and pickers;

all you need to do is bring yourself.

Start time is usually 9 a.m., but earlier/variable during summer and fall.

For more information, call Marcy Yates,

(760) 767-4287.

Rams Hill Maintenance & Aerification

Golfers, please note: The golf course at Rams Hill will be closed for aerification and maintenance from July 7–17, reopening for play on July 18. In an effort to provide optimal playing conditions, we’ve chosen to remain closed for this extended 11-day window — longer than most SoCal golf courses. This schedule allows us to perform aggressive maintenance across the entire golf course without impacting golfers in the short term.

We will close again for additional aerification from August 11–13. This second round of maintenance will be less intrusive than our July program and is not expected to impede play upon reopening on August 14.

We appreciate your patience as we take a little extra time to care for our desert oasis to perform these necessary maintenance practices.

Did You Know?

Amazon is the largest online retailer and technology provider in the world.

Surprisingly, Amazon is younger than most people realize. Jeff Bezos founded it on July 5th, 1994. It began as an online book marketplace and quickly grew into what it is today.
