Dear Chamber Members,
Hello all and welcome to summer, and it actually feels like it after a great Memorial Day weekend! I would like to thank Amanda for a fantastic job as our president over the last year. There were still many challenges to overcome throughout the year and she handled it well during her term. Thank you all who attended the Chamber Annual Meeting and congratulations again to our award recipients, it was well deserved.
I am looking forward to being your Chamber President this year, and I expect we will have most, if not all, of our community activities to enjoy.
First up is Beer on the Bridge on Saturday, June 11th from noon to 5pm. This was one of my favorite events last year. The weather was great, and the beer was cold! There are a limited number of tickets sold so the crowd is just the right size. On Sunday, June 12th, head over to Veterans Park for the Grafton Lions Chicken Roast. You can stay and have a picnic in the park or take it home.
Next is the Giro d’Grafton, where we will again be hosting a stop on the Tour of America’s Dairyland race series. On Saturday, June 18th please make sure to stop by and check out these amazing races go through downtown Grafton, and if you are a fan of Beer Gardens, Celebrate Grafton will be hosting one on the south end of the course near the Chamber office.
Celebrate Independence Day at Grafton’s Holidaze with us on Saturday, July 2nd! The day will start at 11 a.m. with a parade going through downtown Grafton followed by music and fun beginning at 5:00pm, and end with “The Best Fireworks North of Milwaukee” at Lime Kiln Park at dusk.
But that’s not all! I encourage you to join us at upcoming Business After Hours and Ribbon Cutting events, featured in this Newsletter, and to visit (and LIKE!) our Facebook page to see all the great events that are happening.
Here’s to a great summer ahead, and another exciting Chamber year!
Sean

Ozaukee Family Services
We've Moved!
We moved on February 1. Our new address is 4922 Columbia Road in Cedarburg. Most of our programs were uninterrupted by the move. This includes our affordable counseling services for county residents of all ages, our Rainbows program that provides support for children experiencing death, divorce, or other trauma, programs to keep individuals socially and emotionally healthy, support for families dealing with behavioral and/or mental health challenges, internet safety classes in schools, and senior services.
Please note, our playgroups and free on-site parenting classes are postponed (just until Spring) while we get settled into our new location.
Some major repairs and renovations are being done at our new building to make it a safe, welcoming, and trauma-sensitive environment where we will continue to assist local seniors, children, and adults regardless of their ability to pay. Of course, we couldn’t do any of this without the financial support of the community. Please consider helping us “Build the Future” so we can continue to be accessible to all who need us.
