Summer in Branson is an exciting time for locals, visitors, and businesses. Warmer weather, time spent on the lake, economic stimulation, heavier traffic (less exciting) and endless opportunities for investment into our local community. It’s an exciting time for us here at Elevate, too. Read all about what we’re anticipating this summer in this June edition of our newsletter. | |

ELEVATE COMMUNITY FIRST LOOK EVENT RECAP | |
In May, we hosted our Elevate Community First Look event on the Elevate Community property. We commemorated the continuing progress we’re making on our tiny home development with live music, games, and a ribbon cutting ceremony with both the Branson and Hollister Chambers. We also provided golf-cart tours of the property for members of the community, and casted the vision for how this project will impact the lives of countless people in our area. If you missed the event, don’t worry! Golf-cart tours of the property are still available when you visit our campus during our operating hours. | |
KICKING OFF SUMMER SCHOOL WITH ELEVATE KIDS | |
Elevate Kids summer school programming kicks off June 6th and will provide meals, educational opportunities, and fun to 35 kids every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 8:45am to 12:30pm. This summer program allows us to be a site for Branson schools, and since busses don’t run in the summer, it gives us the opportunity to pick up our kiddos and bring them to our campus so they get the same opportunity to participate in summer school as other students do. We’re excited to have our favorite kids back on campus three days a week, all summer long. | |

Our culinary master, Chef Frank, brings another delectable desert to the table for the community to enjoy. Cookies By Frank offers custom made sugar cookies for your next celebration, employee appreciation day, or promotional opportunity for your business. Send Frank your graphic, logo, or photo, and he’ll print them on his homemade sugar cookies (it’s a secret recipe – sorry). Visit our website and contact Frank for your next sugar cookie craving. | |
