CHAMBER EVENTS
LAKESIDE ACADEMY
100 Garrison Ave NE
TOMORROW July 8th 8:00 a.m.

Make a trip out to the Lake Charlotte area and see a hidden gem in our community - the MN Teen Challenge treatment campus for boys. They offer help for substance abuse, bipolar disorder, ADHD, self harm, depression, anxiety and anger management as well as other behavioral programs onsite for a 6-12 month season. Boys are provided their education while receiving the services.

It's a nice drive - and per my Google Maps is only 12 minutes/7.6 miles. Well worth the trip! Meet the Manager from the new Caribou Cabin as they provide the coffee for the event!

MEMBER RECOGNITION
CELEBRATING ANNIVERSARIES!

Suzanne and I visited Elizabeth and Sue at Functional Medicine Center celebrating 15 years of Chamber membership. We then visited Beth Solberg of Ritzy Replay and Jennifer and Laura at Masterson Staffing both celebrating 5 years of Chamber membership. We thanked Bob Halagan of Halagan Law for his 20 years of membership via a little gift in the mail. We thank you all for your membership and loyal support of your Chamber and community!
Above is Elizabeth and Sue, then Laura and Jennifer, and below our artistic photo of Beth at her new store location that will be opening soon. Hope all enjoyed the beautiful red flowering plants from Buffalo Floral!
