 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Once again, Celebrate Campbell was a huge success as the community, Chamber members and city officials dressed in their finest to honor the 2015 Business-of-the-Year, Chiropractic Wellness Center, and our 2015 Citizen-of-the-Year, Past President Janie Harris Kelly of CSR Real Estate Services. Also recognized were our Ambassador of the Year, Tina Fisher of ReachLocal, Volunteer of the Year, Mike Katz of Cool Kat Appliance Repair and numerous other amazing people who dedicate their time and talents to local worthy organizations within the community. Thank you to Janie, committee chair, committee members, chamber staff and sponsors for making this event one to remember. It was my distinct pleasure to be a part of Celebrate Campbell again this year and to help recognize each of those individuals who make Campbell a great place to live, work and play.
Our next big event is, of course, Boogie on the Avenue. Held on Saturday & Sunday, May 21st & 22nd, this is one of Campbell's feature festivals and one of the Chamber's most important fundraisers. We are accepting food and business row applications and will soon be asking for volunteers. We need all hands on deck to continue to make Boogie one of the Bay Area's best events!
Please be sure to sign up for our ABC Certification Training on April 17th if you're interested in volunteering to serve beer and wine at Boogie or Oktoberfest.
Please note that the April 14th BIZ Expo and Mixer at the Winchester Mystery House has been cancelled.
