Golfing season is in full swing ...

The Chamber golf tournament has been full for awhile now. Hope you got your team in and will be joining us on Tuesday for one of the first, and certainly one of the best golf tournaments of the season. Once again, Tim Dyck, our Chamber Group Insurance agent,  is the title sponsor and joining us for the day is the Regional Marketing supervisor for the Chambers Group Insurance from Calgary, Ken Willoughby and his assistant, Garret from Edmonton. We will have some of the same fun games - Marshmellow shot across the mush line, Chip to the Cooler sponsored by MNP and the 'closest to the MLA' sponsored by Tim McMillan. Put that together with some great hole sponsors, outstanding prizes, breakfast sponsored by Cliff Rose for Clothes and JDG Construction, Champagne orange juice starter compliments of Peg & Gary over at Chatter's Hair Salon, the Mulligan draw sponsored by Mayor Mulligan & AHHA Moments and a delicious steak barbecue ... WOW.. what a great day. Proceeds from the special games and the fairway barbecue will once again be donated to the Drug Strategy Committee.

The Travel Alberta Visitor Information Centre is open and Jenna, Chelsey, Jordyn and Julie look forward to meeting everyone at the June mixer or stop on out and say hi and get your travel information for your vacation in Alberta this year. With the price of gas, it might be a good idea to check out some of the great things to do and see right here in our home province. They can help you to choose some events and sites right here in our region.

You should all have received your special Chamber e-newsletter with the request that you take a few minutes and set up your letter concerning health care issues in Lloydminster and send it off to your MLA with a copy to the Chamber office. There is a place in the letter for you to tell your story about any concerns you have encountered with your health care needs in Lloydminster. This in an opportunity for our MLA's to hear real stories from real people and your chance to let your voice be heard. This will assist them when they go to bat for our community. If you haven't received your newsletter, go to the Chamber website http://www.lloydminsterchamber.com/ and link up from there.

We are very pleased to be hosting the Alberta Premiers Council on the Economy in Lloydminster on June 22. If you would like to attend, please call the Chamber office at 780-875-9013.

The Alberta Chamber Executives conference will also be held in Lloydminster in July. We will host about 40 Chamber executive directors from both provinces for three days of professional development. We will also be doing all we can to inform them about our community so that they can take that information home with them and spread the word that Lloydminster is indeed a great place to visit.

I will be away on vacation from June 1 to the 12 so I will catch up with the blog when I get back.

Till next time....
Pat
