 I hope you had a chance to come to Town Day. It was busy at the Chamber's booth with many faces, familiar and new, stopping by to say hello.  Thank you to Cathy Zolner, Anne Marie Reilly of  Jacki Sorenson's Fitness Classes  and Dick Moscow for helping out at the booth. Check out our Flicker page to see pictures.


 

This year we had a Shop Arlington First Raffle and asked people for their favorite Shop Arlington First business. Over 80 people voted and tied for first place were Tryst Restaurant and Capitol Theatre and Creamery! Residents were surprised to see all the different businesses Shop Arlington First Gift Certificates can be redeemed at.

 

The Women's Networking Group held its first breakfast last week, with image consultant Doreen Dove presenting "Confidence Is Always In Style". In case you missed her entertaining and informative talk, you can watch it on the chamber's  Youtube Channel. Special thanks to American Alarm & Communications for hosting and providing the delicious breakfast.

 

I hope to see you next Tuesday at the Welcome Back Social at Tryst. In case you haven't been to the new Visitors Center Booth, we will be having a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at 4:45. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet the people who made the booth a reality and learn how it can help promote your business.

 

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

 

Best,

 

Jenn
