Here we are, the first week of April and heading into a long weekend! I hope you'll be able to enjoy this with family - for some, this may be the first year since the pandemic you feel free to travel and visit with loved ones for this holiday. Enjoy and eat lots of chocolate!

This is going to be a busy month so please look through below so you don't miss anything going on you might want to enjoy including our mingles and April breakfast with Mayor Neil Ellis.

It was also a sad day for us on Friday (even though we enjoyed a lovely lunch from Montana's, a relaxing pedicure at Beautyworks and a wonderful dinner at Linguine's) as we bid farewell to Susan Walsh, Special Events Coordinator extraordinaire here at the Cabin for the last 15+ years. Thanks to City Council and Mayor Neil Ellis for recognizing her contributions to the community with a Key to the City and for all those who have stopped in to wish her well. Click the link below for Susan's life at the Log Cabin in pictures!

Speaking of events - I do encourage you to look at our Calendar link below - as we ask you to submit your events (we don't want to miss anything you have going on!)

We do have our mingle coming up next week at the Hampton Inn (and I've heard rumours Meyer's Creek will be "on tap") so don't forget to register for that.

Tickets are now available for the President's Dinner! We had so much fun with the theme during the pandemic - and this is the roaring '20s - so we couldn't resist adding a little fun to this year's event again (though you can come dressed for a day in 2023!).

I also want to make sure you see the Supplier Information Session being hosted at Loyalist College on Wednesday, April 19th. We have been having some pretty active discussions around the Board table on how to connect local small business suppliers to the purchasing bureaucracy of places like Loyalist College, HPEDSB, the municipalities and the hospitals. So they're coming to the table to explain! Thanks so much to Mark Kirkpatrick, President of Loyalist College for rallying the group to share this information - particularly for suppliers or contractors prepared to quote on purchases less than $100,000. Becoming a "vendor of choice" is a process. Let them help you through it!
