Lakeville goes to the dogs

This week we gave Puppy Play & Stay their official welcome to Lakeville. Did you know there were about a dozen city ordinances that had to be changed to allow them to open here. Thank you to the City of Lakeville for allowing us to bring this great resource to our Lakeville families!

2020 Minnesota Chamber Session Priorities Dinner

Thank you to everyone who came out for this annual event. We heard from members of the House, Senate and the Governor.

Not a dry eye in the room...

Thank you to Chris Lykken, founder of Chase's Warrior Foundation, for speaking at our February luncheon this week. Chris talked about how they turned one of the worst experiences of their life into an opportunity to help others in their shoes. Chris' son experienced an anoxic brain injury 7 years ago after a near drowning in a pool. The foundation raises money to purchase and donate adaptive equipment to families in need all over the world. They will be jumping at the Special Olympics Polar Plunge this weekend.

New Member Introduction - Natural Balance Massage

Angela Baumgart, Lakeville resident and owner of Natural Balance Massage, told fellow members about her and her business at the luncheon.

Thank you to our February Spotlight Luncheon Sponsors:

In cooperation with our Lakeville Works program, the Lakeville Chamber has joined the Minnesota Chamber's BEN (Business Education Network) partnership. This is a group of Chambers across the state who are doing similar work in education and workforce development. This week, Cindy Nolan (ISD 194 Career Pathways Coordinator) and I attended a BEN meeting, in which we were able to hear more about the YST grant that we are receiving, as well hearing about other BEN initiatives from our peers in White Bear Lake, Mankato and Faribault.

Lakeville Works gets a LIFT

A huge thank you to Ken Coons and Advanced Wireless for donating their advertising space in the Lakeville South weight room to Lakeville Works. Our logo is seen by over 400 students every week!

I do! I do!

Jeanne Hutter, our Director of Tourism & Hospitality, brought a group of our Lakeville hospitality businesses to a local pastoral meeting this week. They talked about the WeddingsOfLakeville.com resource website, and ways the CVB can help our local churches match their brides and grooms to local wedding retailers and services.
