Your March Hayden Chamber News!
Spring into Spring!
Friday - March 20th - is the first day of spring! Also known as Spring Equinox - for those of us in north Idaho, we know it as the season that the days are getting longer, the grass starts to green up, and the leaves come onto the trees.

Fun fact - the word "equinox" comes from the Latin words for equal night aequus (equal) and nox (night). On the equinox, the length of day and night is nearly equal in all parts of the world. With the equinox, we enjoy longer daylight hours, with earlier dawns and later sunsets.

With the lengthening of days, which are warmer and drier, we can enjoy our beautiful north Idaho in all of it's natural beauty. Personally, I can't resist getting outside for a walk (particularly around my favorite golf courses!).

This month - make sure to take advantage of the many events that we have!! Our Ambassadors will be visiting new members with 3 Ribbon Cutting events on Wednesday March 4th. Chamber After Hours - on Wednesday, March 11th, will be at Avondale Golf Course! Thursday, March 26th is our monthly Networking Breakfast, featuring our Guest Speaker, Anita Parisot, sharing about "The Future of Telecom: Connecting Communities" which will be held at the Salvation Army Kroc Center.

You will not want to miss the BIGGEST PARTY of the season! Tickets are on sale NOW for our Annual Banquet and Culinary Competition!
This year's restaurant competitors come from all over our area, and are excited to step up to the challenge to win the coveted "Hayden Chamber Culinary Plate Award". Coming very soon! The BIG REVEAL of our Culinary Competitors - to help you whet your appetite!!

All events will have a flyer in this newsletter with a link to purchase tickets or direct you to the action!
