I hope you are having a great summer. It was nice to see so many members at the Ice Cream Social at the historic Capitol Theatre last month. It was hot and humid outside but cool and comfortable in Theatre 5. In addition to listening about the history of the theatre and enjoying an ice cream bar with all the toppings, members also had a sneak peek at the Arlington promotional video that will playing at the new Visitors Center booth which will be opening this month. Thank you to Jamie Howard and her staff for being such wonderful hosts.






 

I am thrilled to announce that the chamber has a new logo thanks to Tess Hartwell of Flavour Strategy. We are currently updating our membership and marketing materials. New 2014-2015 decals will be sent out soon to all members in good standing. If you are not sure if you have an outstanding balance,  log in to Chambermaster at www.chamberlogin.com. You can also call or email the office and check with Liz McKersie or me.

 

As always, if you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to call or email me.

 

Best,

 

Jenn
