Hello Chamber Members,
Welcome to Spring! It may not be very warm yet, but it's great that the days are getting longer!
The 2023 Grafton Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting and Awards Reception is coming up on
May 17th at the Ozaukee Nonprofit Center. You will see the details below, so register and join us as we honor outstanding contributions to our Chamber and the community!
it will certainly be a fun evening.
Food Trucks in the Park are back for five weeks this summer. The first night is May 24th at Veterans Memorial Park and we are looking forward to 10 - 12 trucks, great food, beverages, and entertainment from 4:00 to 9:00 pm.
I cannot believe that it has been a year since I began my term as your Chamber President. It has been
great to see many of our Chamber events return to normal with improved attendance and great support from the community.
The next year should be an exciting one as Elizabeth Mueller, our current Special Events and Tourism Promotion Coordinator transitions into the role of Executive Director. Pam's plan is to remain at the Chamber until mid to late October and then she will be heading to Austin, Texas to be near her children and grandchildren as she retires.
Thank you all for a wonderful year. A big thank you to Pat Buechler from Cornerstone Community Bank for her years of service on the Chamber Board. I look forward to seeing you on the 17th.
Sean
Sean Fahey
GACC Chamber President
