A Note From Your Chamber President

Right around the time I notice the days are, in fact, getting shorter and I remember that my favorite time of year is right around the corner (Autumn) I like to lay out the rest of the year in front of me and there is still a great deal to look forward to. Next month, we have the Gold Country Fair, and the Chamber sponsors an entire building for our members so be sure to stop by! In October we have the State of the Community which is my favorite Chamber event all year. Then, in November, we have a special new member event that we hope will help members find even more value in being a member of our amazing business community. Then, finally, the year just isn't complete without our now famous Festival of Lights parade which is the first Saturday in December. 

I'd like to call attention to the various volunteers that make these events possible. Chamber Ambassadors, committees, youth organizations, service organizations, and of course our many Chamber members whose strong belief in community and charitable giving really sets Auburn apart. I know before working with the Chamber, I took for granted all the Chamber does for the community and by extension the efforts of these volunteers. Thank you so much.
