Our marketing seminar has finally come together. Please plan to attend and register on the Chamber's website (there is a link elsewhere in this communication). The seminar will be presented by Parker Productions at 7:30 AM on May 3, 2017 at Appomattox Inn & Suites. Coffee and Betty's Blueberry Biscuits (worth the attendance alone) from Railyard Restaurant will be served.
Get involved in the "Experience Appomattox" project and other initiatives being organized by the Appomattox Tourism Advisory Committee (ATAC). Short of a major employer moving into our area, this has the potential to do more to spur positive economic activity in our community than anything else that I can think of. When visitors come to our community, we all benefit.
I do not like cold weather so, even though the lawn and garden are requiring a lot of attention and muscles that have been dormant during the winter are aching, I am celebrating the warmth of spring time. The redbuds are in full swing and the dogwoods are beginning to display their majesty. At this time of year, more than any other, one cannot help but marvel at what a wondrous world we live in.
As a final note, let me personally invite you to celebrate Easter Sunrise Service at the National Historical Park at 7:00 AM this Sunday. The place where our divided nation began its reconciliation between brothers is a fitting place for Christians to celebrate their reconciliation with their God.

Chamber's Online Calendar of Events
The Chamber wants to remind everyone who is planning an "open to the public" event for next year to provide the event information to this office so it can get uploaded to the Chamber's website calendar. This online calendar will help the community (and visitors) to see a full list of events as they plan their activities. The goal of the online calendar is to prevent competing events so that every event is a success. So please submit your event information to the Chamber at least 2 weeks in advance of the event so it can be uploaded to the calendar. Make sure your email includes "Calendar Event Information" in the Subject Line. Please note that ALL event submissions for the NewsBlast are automatically added to the online calendar.
