It is hard
to believe, as we sit here
worrying about icy roads and
frozen pipes, but plans are well
underway for the Watonga Trout
Derby, scheduled for March 6-8
at
Lake
Watonga.
Thinking about this fun,
outdoor, family event is a great
light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel
from these dark, cold days.
The tagged trout have
been scheduled for delivery and
arrangements are being made for
some great prizes and give-aways.
If our plans work out,
you may want to register even if
you don’t fish!
I’ll keep you posted in
coming weeks as things develop.

Also in the
planning is the Watonga Chamber
Banquet.
Tentatively planned for
Tuesday, February 24th
(pending confirmation of our
speaker’s calendar) we are
planning a nice dinner with
plenty of enjoyable
entertainment.
Start thinking now about
how many tickets you will need.
This year, for table
decorations, we would like to
invite area businesses, churches
and organizations to provide a
centerpiece to show yourself
off.
You will have the
opportunity to showcase items
from your store, information
about your organization or
services, and let everyone at
the Banquet get to know you
through your tablescape.
These items will not be
given away to the attendees.
If you would like to
participate or have any
questions, please give me a call
at 623-5452.
Our
committees for 2009 have been
formed and are loaded with eager
volunteers who all have a
genuine interest in helping
Watonga succeed.
From planning and
executing the annual events we
all know and love, to economic
development, membership, retail
trade, highways and many other
areas, these folks are hard at
work.
If you would like to
offer your assistance to any of
these committees, I would be
happy to help you contact them.
Membership
renewal letters have been sent
out.
If you have not received
yours, please call the office so
I can send one to you.
We greatly appreciate the
businesses & individuals who
have sent in their dues, as
these are an integral part of
the Chamber’s ability to
operate.
Without our members and
volunteers, there would be no
Chamber of Commerce to promote
Watonga.
Thanks to all of you.
I would
also like to thank everyone who
has welcomed me as I start this
new adventure with the Chamber
of Commerce.
The warm, friendly,
encouraging comments I have
received from so many of you
just reinforces my belief that
this is a great community of
great people!
I welcome anyone who has
questions or suggestions to come
see me at the Chamber office or
call 623-5452
