For those of you who had planned to attend our Legislative
Breakfast this Wednesday we are sorry that we had to postpone due to many of
our area elected officials were not able to be with us. We will let everyone know when the new date
will be. If we missed talking to you
about the cancellation we hope it did not mess up your plans for the day.
Our next membership luncheon will be on June 24th
and will be held at Arrowhead Yacht Club starting at 11:30 AM. The program is one you will not want to miss
as we are going to have a presentation from the State Chamber of Commerce on
the Prosperity Project. We had this
group come year before last and created the most excitement we have had a a
meeting in a long time. The program is
one that helps businesses and their employee involved getting the VOTE OUT for
this year’s upcoming elections. Also
this program helps everyone understand the positions those running for office
are taking on certain issues. So make
plans now to be there and remember to make a reservation 918-782-3214.

Thank you to this group for the support of our work at the
Grand Lake Chamber.
As we discussed in this column last week June 5th
was a busy day all around the Pond. The
Shriners had a good turnout for the 2nd annual Run for the Children
that started in Langley and ended in Ketchum.
There was a lot of sweating going on and heavy breathing at the finish
line. This event raised funds for the transportation of sick
KIDS to the hospital for treatment, thanks for all who made the effort. At the Finish line in Ketchum the Chamber
set up a Fish Fry with cooking done by Mayor Joe and his team and help from
AEP-PSO, Clanton’s Café, The Artichoke and The Dobbins.
This was just a small sample of what you can taste in
September at the 17th annual Hook N’ Cookoff on the 25th
at Pelican Landing. Make plans now to
attend this event. We are signing up
vendors and cooking teams so fill out your entry form and get on the list.
We are
continuing to make improvements and updates on our web site, so go to
grandlakechamber.org to check out the listings for lodging and dining as they
have been set up for easy access of our current members and make plans to visit
them and use their services. We are
also expanding and upgrading all of our communication with members and the
general public which will see a quarterly newsletter produced and made
available to visitors about the activities of the Grand Lake Area Chamber.
Two great
weekends down and lots more to come!
