COMMUNITY SHOULD EMBRACE FISHERMAN'S WHARF PROJECT

If you have visited Channel Islands Harbor in the last five or ten years, you likely noticed the state of disrepair Fisherman's Wharf is in. It's quite sad to see the corner that was once a bustling destination for visitors and locals alike look as if it wants to fall into the sea.

MEMBER MESSAGES
5 THINGS WE DID FOR YOU IN THE PAST WEEK

  1. Hosted a New Member Mingle to get to know some of our newest members and to demonstrate how they can best utilize our website to promote their goods and services.

  2. Had an OXYP (Oxnard Young Professionals) meeting where plans were made to have a BIG event this fall.

  3. Chamber CEO Nancy Lindholm volunteered in the Visit Oxnard booth at the Dallas Cowboys Training Camp where she referred many Chamber members to out of town visitors.

  4. Represented the Oxnard Chamber at a briefing delivered by Sheriff Geoff Dean. Along with being the largest city in Ventura County, unfortunately Oxnard has its proportionate amount of crime.

  5. Hosted a free Lunch & Learn on Facebook advertising. We had a great turnout and attendees were very happy with what they learned.
