A Note From Your Chamber CEO

Well, although it is another wet day I am so thankful for all this rain we are getting. It was a VERY wet Saturday but that did NOT stop our AMAZING Auburn Community from coming out and enjoying what we like to believe is the start of the Holiday Season here in Auburn The Festival of Lights Parade. We had about 85 floats (out of the 107 that signed up) and a couple thousand people out watching the parade. The rain came, we all got wet but for those who braved the weather, it was a truly magical evening. I am so very thankful for the amazing Parade Committee of Volunteers who never waivered, just came together and put on our most magical event of the year! I also have to send a HUGE thank you to our sponsors, we raised MORE in sponsorship this year than ever before, we cannot do what we do without the support of our members.

I look forward to our last Power Lunch and Mixers of the year and a little bit of Holiday Time with our office! I look forward to seeing you through the Holidays and please reach out if there is anything we can help you with!
