Dear Chamber Members & Friends,

What has your Chamber been up to lately, you might ask?

The Oak Cliff Chamber of Commerce staff has been busy facilitating committee meetings, recruiting new memberships and renewals, leasing on-site office and meeting spaces, and planning for our upcoming Gala "At the TOP of Our Game" scheduled for Friday May 30, 2014 at 6:00pm at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Dallas.

We hope each and every Oak Cliff Chamber member will consider supporting this event by attending and providing sponsorship and gifts-in-kind for our silent and live auctions.  Great things are planned for the future here on Bishop Avenue and we need your help!  Any kind of support toward this annual event will help provide funds for Chamber programs and activities.  Gala information is available on our website, www.oakcliffchamber.org or you can call us anytime at 214-943-4567.

Chamber leadership is working on new initiatives to better serve our members and determine how we can help you, our membership.  We wish to be an asset to every members.  One way you can help with that is to consider joining one of our committees: Education, Economic Development, Legislative Affairs, Transportation, Community Affairs, Gala, and Golf Tournament.

We thank you for your support and encouragement.  Oak Cliff and the Southern Sector of Dallas County is growing and improving every day.  We thank our members and their associates for your inspiration and hard work in our neighborhoods.  Let's work together to make everything south of the Trinity River better and bigger to benefit community growth and sustainability.

Yours in service,

Kiyundra Gulley,
Interim President
