Hello Kathy,
Happy Independence Day! We hope you enjoy your holiday and celebrate America. Be safe and enjoy the parade and fireworks show in Solvang.
This month of course brings many activities and ways to get out and enjoy our valley. We've included all of these in this month's newsletter.
We continue to welcome new members to our Chamber and provide networking opportunities for all of our members through our mixers and events. We thank you for your continued support and appreciate the opportunity to serve you.
We have designed a new program called the Leadership Circle. This is a tiered membership that allows you to choose what level you participate at. With each level comes a variety of benefits and offerings. We hope this streamlines the annual opportunities for you and provides a simple way to participate in all we offer. Please take a look below at the new program and let us know how you would like to structure your membership. We will send a letter out with your invoice when it is time for your renewal, so look for that to come in the mail.
Please join us at our next mixer on July 19th at Zaca Mesa Winery. This is a beautiful winery with a wonderful selection of wine and views that are breathtaking. We look forward to having you join us.
The Ziplines are opening soon and they are hiring. Be sure to check out their website below and sign up for their First Flights Club and let those you may know looking for work to apply. What a fun place to work!
There is plenty more to explore in this month's newsletter, so be sure to read it over.
As always, we appreciate your 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.

July
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.
