President’s Report

September is going to go down as one of our busiest months ever! And that’s a good thing
for our members.

One of the 2011 goals set forth at your Chamber Board of Director’s Planning Retreat was to work together with our area chambers. This goal will be realized in September as we partner with the Alamo Chamber and the San Ramon Chamber on Wednesday, September 21st at Round Hill Country Club. We are holding a joint luncheon to meet our new Contra Costa County Board of Supervisor Gayle Uilkema. Gayle was recently part of the redistricting and now represents our 3 communities. Her areas of interest include public finance, return of property taxes to local governments, transportation and public safety. Please plan to join us at this luncheon and welcome Gayle to our communities.

Another great event in September will be a joint mixer/bocce ball tournament with the Alamo Chamber at Diablo Country Club. Bring on the competition! The winning chamber will receive a trophy to display proudly in their offices. The mixer will be on Thursday, September 27th from 5-7 pm.

Finally, on Thursday, September 29th, the Tri Valley Mayor’s Summit will be held at Wente Vineyards in Livermore and will showcase our own Mayor Karen Stepper along with the Mayors of Dublin, San Ramon, Pleasanton and Livermore. This is another great way to reach out and promote yourself.

PLEASE check our calendar on the last page. There are mixers, ribbon cuttings, downtown street festivals and so much more going on in September. Your Chamber is active and involved and most importantly – we are here for YOU, the member!
