Executive Director's Notes

By Franҫoise Rhodes

I want to thank La Casa Del Zorro for hosting the March Madness Mixer. Over 55 attendees mixed and mingled, met new and longtime Chamber members and heard what was going on in Borrego Springs.

When it's time to leave and everyone is still there, you know its

a good event!

Also thank you to our raffle prize sponsors:

ABDNHA, Arches - Borrego Springs Resort, Borrego Outfitters, Carlee's,

Rams Hill Golf Club, Red Ocotillo-Coyotes Steakhouse and the Chamber.

Our April Mixer will be at ARCHES, date not set yet.

Members, if you would like to be part of the raffle give me a call.
