March 2008

Welcome to spring - a time to enjoy the beauty of flowering trees and plants and anticipate months of warm days and "fun in the sun!"

Look for April to be a great month. Our 4th Annual Excellence in Teaching Awards dinner will be held on April 24 at Martin's East. On this occasion, your chamber will recognize four outstanding educators in the greater Dundalk area. Attendees will range from school administrators and teachers and their families to elected officials and members of the general public. Peggy Johnson, Education Committee chair, and her committee are certain to provide a wonderful celebration for the honorees and a good time for all. Please place this signature event on your calendar!

Several exciting new events are also being planned. October 13, 2008 is the tentative date for our 1st Annual Golf Tournament, which will be held at Sparrows Point Country Club. Please contact co-chairs Dick McJilton, Scott Gardner, or Woody Powell if you would like to assist with this event.

New Board member Jordan Hadfield has graciously accepted the invitation to provide leadership for our 1st Annual Business Recognition Awards Ceremony, November 6th.

Growing the membership remains a primary goal as your chamber works to continuously improve the services we offer to the Dundalk business community and we need your help. Share the compelling story of why every business in Dundalk should join our Chamber with you business associates on a regular basis. Bring prospective members to Chamber functions.

Enjoy spring ...
