Summer is finally here!
It’s time for sunny skies, warm weather, green leaves and cheerful flowers. I love to open the windows, smell the fresh air, and feel a gentle breeze blowing through the house. As we spend more time outdoors enjoying the sunshine, I am reminded how grateful I am for the change of seasons, beautiful surroundings, and a fresh new perspective.
As businesses reopen, we at the Chamber look ahead with optimism! After weeks of working remotely like many of you, our office is open, and we look forward to seeing you soon as well as hosting you at Chamber events again in the coming weeks and months. We appreciate your loyalty to this organization and will continue to stay true to being the voice of business and a champion for our community!
