Lone Tree Chamber Chatter 

I do hope you are enjoying your summer, just a few quick reminders and some information on upcoming events in your Chamber of Commerce.

A Taste of Lone Tree, Food & Art Festival is still in need of a few volunteers for the weekend of August 13 & 14, if you are interested in volunteering, you can contact this years Volunteer coordinator, Marcy Thompson, First Commercial Bank, or the event Co-Chairs: Donna Russell or Vivian Kovacs, Landscape Forms.

This annual premier chamber event is a cornerstone to the chambers community events. For two days a year, since 2008, the Chamber has provided a venue where Lone Tree restaurants & hi-end artisans can showcase their offerings. For 2011, we are pleased to be partnering with Lincoln Commons as the host, and is excited to be offering tours of the Lone Tree Arts Center for interested Taste patrons during the weekend. Don't miss this wonderful event.

The final design for the Douglas County Veterans Monument has been made. It is an original bronze monument, as yet unnamed, designed by William Hueg, Peacock Studios, Inc. of Westminster, Colorado. The Monument is to honor those who have served and are serving their country - all wars - all branches.
