When we think of August, some will think of hot weather and others getting children back to school. In Farmers Branch we think of our 19th Annual Golf Classic being held on Monday, August 25th at Brookhaven Country Club. Registration begins at 7:30 am and tee time is 8:30 am. Every member was recently sent a brochure with full details about entry fees, many contests on different holes, sponsorship opportunities and that all important sign up page. In addition our outstanding golf committee is requesting golf ball and prize donations. What a great way to promote your company or business. Need more information? Contact the Chamber office or website for full details so you can be part of one of the most successful Special Events held each year.
 
August is also when we return to Branch Out, our weekly networking event, after being off in July. What makes it so special in August? Each Wednesday we will meet at a different business as they host this networking activity. Watch for the announcements of each week's sponsor and location. Make all four Wednesdays and you will be in a drawing for a special prize.
 
Also mark your calendars for Thursday, August 28th for our next seminar presented by our Economic Development Committee. Join us for "Mission Possible" presented by Judy Bragg.
 
Did you know you can now register online for all these events? A special thanks to Lara Orlic, Director of Chamber Relations, for her expertise with setting up our fantastic website and now the availability to sign up for all our activities and events.
 
Finally, a special thank you to Beverly Wagner, Sonja Dodds, Calla Davis, Ruth Ann Parish, Joan Abbey, Sandee Treptow, and Anne Acuna for all their creativity in planning a Baby Shower honoring Lara Orlic. Lots of activities and food donated by our very generous members. We are looking forward to meeting Bruiser!


Sincerely, 

 

Richard Brown

Chairman of the Board
