1. Calling for Sponsors and Vendors!
The Chamber of Commerce puts on several community events that are family friendly!
If you would like to sponsor Berthoud Day 2016,
click here for sponsorship information. The vendor form is on the front page of our website. (or you can
click here.)
Berthoud Day is on Saturday, June 4, 2016. The day will kick off with a parade at 11:00 a.m. (Have you thought of having an entry in the parade? It's free and open to everyone to participate.) Right after the parade, join us in Town Park for vendors, food, and music. The music will begin at noon and last until 9:00 p.m. Old School BBQ will have food for sale under the pavilion until 8:30 p.m. If you have a talent and would like to take part in "Berthoud's Got Talent" please watch our website,
www.berthoudcolorado.com
(News & Events; Berthoud Day) for details.
The vendor registration is now open and we will have the parade entry form up soon on the website, so please keep an eye out for it.

2. Shout out to our Members!
We want to THANK YOU, our members, for your referrals.
If every member told just 1(one) business acquaintance or friend about the BACC, our growth rate would be amazing!
Our goal this year is to "leap" to 300 hundred members. Help us reach that goal! If you have a referral, just get their name, phone number and email to us, and we will contact them. Let us know why you feel they would be a great fit for us so we can share that with them when we call.

3. Ambassador of the Month
Congratulations to
Bill Daley
with Citizen Printing who was voted Ambassador of the Month! He is on several committees and volunteers at various Chamber events! Ambassadors look at the log sheets that each Ambassador fills out with their volunteer hours before they vote. Sometimes they are nominated by the number of hours they volunteer and other times they are nominated by their creative contributions to the chamber.
Ambassadors serve in many capacities: Business before Hours, Luncheons, Business after Hours, Ribbon Cuttings, event committees (Installation Dinner, Berthoud Day, Quilt, Art & Craft Show, Golf Tournament, and Oktoberfest as well as other special events we do.)
TH
ANK YOU you for all of your hard work and volunteer time. We really appreciate you!

8. Do You Want New Members and New Residents to Know About You and Your Business?
We give out between 5-15 welcome bags a month. As a member of the BACC, you have the opportunity to have your "swag" put in these welcome bags we give to our new members at ribbon cuttings and to the new home owners in Berthoud.
Our bags right now are a little on the thin side and not very welcoming...please drop your business swag by the chamber office so we can make up new bags.
Thank you!

12. Spring Time Cleaning Hints
Spring cleaning has gotten easier with all of the new things like Swifter, The Magic Eraser, etc.
With more daylight hours, you can plan to be outside more.
Here are a few "indoor spring time" hints.
1. Make your doormats "welcoming". Sweep them off or change them to a new spring one.
2. Clean your carpets and furniture.
3. Finish your floors. This doesn't mean re-sand them, just make sure to get those hard to reach corners.
4. Wash walls, cabinets, baseboards and woodwork.
5. Vacuum every nook and cranny, move furniture.
6. Clean your ceiling fans, and light fixtures.
