The New Paltz Challenge is upon us and we are in full swing preparing for the half marathon and 5K this coming Sunday, June 15th. A lot of this work started in the cold of January and February and it will continue right up until Sunday afternoon. If you are procrastinating, there is still time to register. If you would like to volunteer, please contact us at the Chamber. There are never too many volunteers- the volunteer shirt is worth the time anyhow!
We will have a team here at the Chamber working on the goodie bags for the Challenge participants this Thursday and Friday as well as early registration pick up on Saturday from 10AM-2PM. If you are in the area, please stop by and avoid the hassle of having to get all of that together on race day. We can't wait for this great event and are looking at having the highest number of registrants in the history of this event. That's something to be proud of. A detailed thank you will go out to all the Challenge Run Committee Members next week after the event, but I want to tell you all thank you before the event as well. I understand that it is a commitment that starts early in the year and continues to build momentum as the time ticks away. So, thank you for your effort and perseverance. I know that this is going to be a first class experience for the participants.
It does not stop after the New Paltz Challenge either. We continue to make things happen. The Foundation is hosting their Annual Scholarship awards on June 18th at the Mohonk Mountain House, Glenn Shepard will be here on July 8th and our golf outing "Take it out on a Titleist" is July 24th. We started the year off busy and nearing halfway we are still on the move.
The New Paltz Regional Chamber of Commerce is your Chamber. We are constantly working to provide you with a Membership experience that is second to none and of great value. We look forward to your success.
Make it a great day!
Peter Ingellis, Executive Director

I'd Planned to Go By My Initials: One Woman's Experience in Publishing
"I'm a writer. I'm a woman. I swear a lot, and I write dark, creepy books about people who also swear a lot. Trying to succeed in the publishing industry while navigating the fairly choppy waters created by all of these factors swirling around me has been, and continues to be, an experience that swings from exhilarating to infuriating from one split second to the next. Join me and I'll try to make you laugh while I tell you about it. With any luck, you'll never look at a book cover the same way again."
~Kelly Braffet
