It’s a great week to have a GREAT week!


We are launching the new Adventure Passport campaign this week. Be sure to grab a passport at participating locations or here at the Chamber office. You can begin visiting service and shopping stops to earn stamps that will get you entries into drawings for CASH! We will do the drawings after Labor Day weekend. You can find all the stops on our website at https://www.groveok.org/grand-lake-adventure-passport. Thank you to the thirty-eight participants that joined us for this campaign.


Watch for information that will go out through mail and email this week for the upcoming annual Chamber Awards Gala. This will take place on Thursday, July 17th at Shangri-La Resort. Chamber members will have the opportunity to nominate their favorite businesses for many prestigious awards that will be presented at the event. Save the date and plan to join us for this fun night as we recognize several special businesses, organizations, and lake leaders.

 

The Toes in the Grand summer festival is right around the corner and we are gearing up for a weekend of family fun! Follow us on the Toes in the Grand Facebook page for updates. We have eight bands lined up with other amazing events happening on June 12-15. Sponsorships are still available for this event. We will have a VIP tent on Saturday evening for our sponsors that will include food and beverages. Wristbands are required for this activity during the festival. Reach out today and we can get you added.


There are many programs and activities that are available for all Chamber members to engage in to utilize your Chamber membership. Take advantage of the many networking events and let us help you connect with locals, visitors, and prospective businesses.


Make it a great week!
