Buellton Chamber May Mixer at
Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co
May 21st 5-7 PM.
May is Craft Beer month so what better way to celebrate our May Mixer than at the award winning Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co. Fig recently brought home TWO medals from the 2014 World Beer Cup and FIVE from the 2014 New York International Beer Competition. We hope you come join us as we sip some tasty brews and congratulate the Fig team on a job well done!
Our Mixers offer a great way to network and meet fellow members and members of our community. We encourage you to bring business cards because you never know who you might meet and want to do business with. Also, another way to promote your business is to donate an item for our raffle drawing. We always appreciate the generosity of our members and the recognition goes a long way when you put your name out there one more time. Please contact the Chamber with any questions or to make a contribution to our raffle.
See you at Fig!

Santa Ynez Valley Humane Society Pet of the Month
Lassie DLH Gray Tabby 5 years. M(N)
Lassie is a fine, fine fellow. He is confident, outgoing and affectionate and has acclimated to our open cattery without a hitch. When others get testy on the playground, he finds a quiet retreat until things have settled. He likes dogs, but he is not one. Should Timmy fall down the well, he will not be retrieving him. He hates water! Come meet this fabulous boy today. Lassie is microchipped and weighs 14lbs.

Send us your photos!
(selfies accepted )
We are featuring our members on our Facebook page and photos go a long ways in the Social Media world. We're asking you to provide us with 2-3 photos that we could use when featuring your business. It might be a photo of you, your office, a product, or whatever comes to mind. We ask that you send us up to 3 photos that we may use. Please be sure to name your photos so we know which member you are and when to use your photo. For Example: If my company is called ABC, then I would name my photos, "ABC 1", "ABC 2", and so on. Feel free to call us for more assistance if you're unsure. This will allow us to showcase your business in the proper way rather than using stock photos.
Thank you in advance for sharing and keeping us updated with this information and don't hesitate to call if you have any questions.
