Planters: The plants have been planted and they look great. Please remember to water your planters. A Big Thank you goes out to the Garden Club for planting the flowers and to all the businesses that donated money toward the purchase of the flowers and planting materials. Thank You.
Welcome Bags: Here we go again asking for donations, but as you might know we hand out welcome bags to new residents when they move to town. The chamber has done this for some time now but we are getting low on supplies to stuff in our welcome bags, so if your business can spare something like pens, notepads or magnets, etc.. We would greatly appreciate anything that you have that we could use in our welcome bags. If you have something, you can either drop the donation off at the chamber office or at the new location of the Library (Old Napa Building), or at the Adrian Bank.

Looks like it is going to be a very busy summer, don’t forget to shop locally and support your chamber.
Lori Haskins, President
