Chamber President Bill Burr All Saints Cemetery |
Thoughts from your President: The summer is getting off to a great start. We had a wonderful Challenge Cup Golf Outing with 112 golfers and it raised more money to support the Chamber than in the past few years. This shows our members support our activities strongly. Also, Concerts in the Park have started with success with Ice Cream sales especially at the first concert hitting goalJ The Chamber doesn’t sleep during the summer it continues to plan for the future. Coming soon you will be seeing invitations to Beer University. The new and improved committee has some outstanding ideas to make this event not only fun but a brand that will carry us forward. Our staff continues to go strong working on new members and sponsorships for future events. One of those events is the Taste of Clarkston coming up on Sunday, September 25th, mark your calendars and remember volunteers will be needed. Continue to have a nice summer, relax and enjoy. Don’t forget to watch online for Chamber News especially Ribbon Cuttings those new businesses really appreciate our support.
See you at the next event. Continue to prosper! Bill Burr

NEW HEALTH Jewels Yoga & Fitness
Exciting changes and shifts are happening at Jewels Yoga & Fitness - As of June 19th, classes will no longer be held at the home studio at 4612 Mountain View Tr. Although massages, private sessions, special classes & workshops will still take place. A new space is evolving in Davisburg off Hall Road, next to the 4H fairgrounds; a unique sanctuary is being created where these special classes will take place and will be held on a "donation only" basis. The setting will be a year-round gazebo overlooking a pond and endless acres of open, beautiful land. Look for more details in the near future. The studio at 4612 Mountain View trail will continue holding classes through June 19th and you are strongly encouraged to attend as many classes as you can. Please know that I am forever grateful to all of you who have shared your practice with me. Remember, shifts are good and life is full of changes and wonderful blessings. |
