As I write this I am sitting at the breakfast table on Wednesday morning hoping that the rain which is predicted for later this morning will materialize. Plants are not yet suffering from the dryness but it sure would be nice to wash away the coating of pollen that has accumulated. When I went to the garden earlier this week to harvest spinach, I first thought that a disease had attacked this year's bumper crop. It turned out to be just a yellow layer that washed off easily in the kitchen sink. So far we have had some sprinkles but not enough of a downpour to produce a thorough cleansing.
If you have not yet signed up for the Business Seminar scheduled for May 3, please do so. This is a great opportunity to learn how to market more effectively in today's environment. I know that I need to better understand a few things, especially the ins and outs of social media.
Due to early season weather unpredictability, we decided to begin our APX 3rd Fridays (formerly Cheerz) in May this year instead of April as in the past. Of course, since we made that decision the forecast for this Friday is a wonderful 82 degrees. Just mark down on your calendar the date of May 19 and come out and enjoy music by DJ Spin, food by the Rail Yard Restaurant and a game of corn hole with the kids.

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.
