Coming out of the recent downpour of Winter rain, sleet, and snow, we'll now have more hospitable weather. This time of year is always exciting with the new springing of life, and what hopefully will be another Super Bloom for us at the Poppy Reserve and surrounding areas. We have a lot of great events and activities coming up this Spring. The return of our Flea Market on May 7^th will be a very important event for both our community and the Chamber alike. We still have vendor, advertising, and donation opportunities available for those that are interested in participating. Through March, we have a lot of great Ribbon Cuttings coming up. I hope you can come out to enjoy these special occasions with us. Lastly, I encourage our members to take advantage of our monthly Lunch and Learn sessions. The Lunch and Learns are free to our members and cover a wide variety of helpful topics. I'd like to give a big thanks to all the members who are attending our luncheons and B4B's. If you haven't already registered for this month's Luncheon, please do so. I look forward to seeing you there, and I wish everyone a bright, successful Spring. Cheers!
