This Week at the Auburn Chamber

I think I am still in shock at how absolutely INCREDIBLE the Festival of Lights Parade was this weekend. Of course there were some hiccups and there may have been a little rain but I think this may have been our biggest crowd and most floats to date. Not only that, the quality of the floats blew me away this year. Each float was done so incredibly well it must have been REALLY hard for the judges to come up with winners!

And now we are on to our next events, we have a few coming up. We have our last luncheon for the year this Wednesday, we have our annual Table Top Mixer at ARD next Thursday that will be absolutely fun and totally awesome and coming to a mailbox near you, keep on the lookout for the Invitation to our Annual Installation and Awards Dinner on January 26. We look forward to an ending of an INCREDIBLE year here at the Auburn Chamber, thank YOU for helping us get here!
