Welcome to June and SUMMER!!

Well school is out for summer and graduations are completed. Sounds like it's time to relax and enjoy life. 

To get us all started, we want to invite the community to a hotdog cookout at Midway Town Park Outdoor Pavilion on June 18th. From 4:30-6:30 we will have free food available. So bring the whole family and enjoy a nice evening. Use this time to relax while getting to know all our small business owners.

Remember we DO NOT meet in July. Then in August we have our back to school roundtable meeting with representatives from all the Northern Davidson County schools to learn how we can help and support them during the school year.

If you need assistance with anything, please don't hesitate to reach out.

See you all on the 18th!
