Hello All!

I hope you had a wonderful July 4th surrounded by family and friends celebrating the greatest country in the world!

Please remember that July is the month that we DO NOT MEET. However, August gets us back on track. Please note that we meet a week EARLY in August. Meeting had to be moved to August 13th due to the schedule of our local schools. We wanted as many administrators and counselors to join us as possible. So mark your calendars for this change now.

Since it's July, we can also think about Christmas in July! And on that note, we need you to begin thinking about what donation you would like to make for our annual Christmas Party and Auction coming in December. We will be back at Weathervane Winery again this year, and we couldn't be more thrilled! If you have any questions or know what you want to donate, please reach out to me, and I'll be happy to help. Mark your calendars now for a great evening on December 17th.

The new website is almost complete and should be up and running before our next meeting in August. We hope to keep adding and improving it to enable our members and the community to easily find us. It will be a way for us to promote our members better as well as you grow and change and enhance our community.

Lastly, if anyone is interested in joining us on the board of directors next year, please let me know. We are always looking for people with enthusiasm for our chamber and helping us move forward.

See you in August!

Note from the Admin:

Please take note that our next meeting has been moved from August 20th to AUGUST 13TH! With schools starting around the 20th we thought it best to move up our meeting. See you all then!

The North Carolina Zoo is reaching a milestone this year. Please join us in celebrating our 50^th anniversary. Plans are underway to launch two new fundraising events as well as continue building the success of the popular family-friendly event – BOO at the Zoo.

Last year, our Zoo reached its goal of one million visitors during its 2023 season and we are confident that the goal will be met again this year. Guests can see the ongoing progress of Asia construction and habitat expansion each time they visit.
