A monthly publication of the Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce February 2015 281/ 488-7676 • 1201 NASA Parkway, Houston, TX 77058 • www.clearlakearea.com A message from the Chairman of the Board Dear Fellow Chamber Members, Now that the holidays are a distant memory, it is time to jump into the New Year. The New Year is all about fresh starts and new beginnings. It is the perfect time to visit with the chamber staff and see how to make your membership work for you. Check the “Weekly Window” and dedicate yourself to making at least one event per month. They certainly offer plenty of opportunities to meet new people but there is so much more. Every month there is, free for members, a business development workshop. There are new and exciting topics each month. The valuable tools I have picked up from these seminars are worth saving consulting fees alone- what a value! A foodie’s favorite is coming to town. Epicurean Evening, hosted by Space Center Houston, is scheduled for Thursday February 5th. We can all Buy Into Bay Area by attending this fabulous night. Tickets are on sale now so don’t delay. There are also early admission passes available so you can beat the crowds. Sponsorships are still available and silent auction items are most welcome. Contact the chamber today to find out how you can be a part of this event. The legislators are now in session and Austin is abuzz. Plan on joining us on Wednesday February 18th on our biannual journey, partnering with BAHEP, to Austin to educate legislators on what is important to the bay area. The chambers focus will be on issues in education. Everyone is put into teams and well briefed on issues. The teams spend the day on a detailed schedule of appointments with legislators from all over the state. We ride in a comfy bus where there are plenty of opportunities to connect with other chamber members. I want to thank Lisa Holbrook with Assistance League of Bay Area and Fay Picard with State Representative District 24 Dr. Greg Bonnen for working tirelessly on this project to make it happen. Space is limited and filling fast. Contact the chamber today if you are interested. You have already voted- now take your dedication on step further and advocate for our children and CCISD! Purchase pre-sale tickets BEFORE WEDNESDAY! GROUP TICKET DISCOUNTS STILL AVAILABLE I want to personally thank you for supporting the chamber and therefore showing your dedication to strengthening our community. By supporting each other and uniting we make our voices stronger. I know many times we tell ourselves “I just don’t have time.” Let’s take this fresh start in January and February to squeeze a little time to give back to the community that has blessed us in so many ways with wonderful opportunities.
