Hello Chamber Members,

School is officially out for the summer so we have lots of young people out in the parks, riding bikes and enjoying their time off (don't you wish you were still in School?) So watch out for them on the streets, sometimes they forget to look both ways.

Hope you all get to take some time off this summer and do something fun. Just remember that we are here and ready to promote that summer sale you are having.

When do you go at red and stop at green ........................

Talk soon,

Shelley

A personalized plan to prepare for and respond to unexpected disruptions.

Well-prepared businesses have proven to fare much better through and after a disaster because they have already considered the possible impacts to their business and developed strategies ahead of time for dealing with them.
