Teamwork is working together - even when apart. ~Unknown

'STARS OVER CANYON LAKE' - Canyon Lake Chamber of Commerce &
Tish's Décor & More invites you to participate in our "Stars Over
Canyon Lake" Christmas Project. The STARS will brighten the skies and
businesses of our community igniting the Christmas spirit among
residents and the many visitors to our area and at the same time will
benefit two of our very worthy community non-profit organizations.
There are two sizes of stars - a 3-foot for $45 and a 4-foot for $65,
and anyone may purchase them! $10 from the sale of each star will be
donated to New Life Children's Treatment Center and the CRRC -
Community Resource and Recreation Center. The 4-foot star is on a
stake and both are outlined with rope lights. They can be mounted on a
roofline, porch or staked in the ground. The Canyon Lake Chamber of
Commerce encourages all businesses to get behind this project and light
up Canyon Lake! In an effort to join together all sides and areas of
the lake, our plan is to place four sponsored STARS in each of our
three main towns - Startzville, Sattler and Hancock. We have reached
our goal! Pedernales Electric Cooperative (PEC) has agreed to hang &
light four stars and hang four Christmas Trees on electric poles in
each town listed below. PEC is graciously offering their time and
manpower to install these stars and trees in Canyon Lake Friendly
Christmas Spirit - and we offer a huge Thank You! It is folks like
these who can truly make a difference in our community. All sponsors
will be mentioned in the Chamber Weekly News, during "Looking at the
Lake", our weekly radio show and will be included in the December/
January Newsletter. Our hope is many businesses will purchase these
STARS to help benefit New Life and CRRC, or simply join in the
community spirit and put up your own lighted stars and star decor!
Tish's Décor and More, 1642 FM 2673, Suite #9, or phone 964-4050.

Get behind the Project and Light Up Canyon Lake!

THANK YOU!

"LOOKING AT THE LAKE" KGNB 1420 AM Radio Show, Thursday, 1:00 PM

Tune in on Thursdays at 1:00pm to KGNB 1420 AM to listen to Looking at
the Lake, our 30-minute show focused on local issues, news, membership,
announcements and events going on for the upcoming 7-day period. We
offer our members the opportunity to sponsor this show each week. The
sponsor's spot is a 'dedicated 8-minutes' plus four 15-second
mentions throughout the program. Write your own script, perform it
yourself, or we will have someone present it for you. We began a new
13-week cycle of shows last week and are still seeking Sponsors. As a
sponsor, you would host one show every four weeks (approximately) and
be billed after each show airs. A previous cost for this show was $300
per show. We just entered into a new commitment with KGNB for one year!
With the new commitment, our new cost for each show is $250. This is
a great deal and the Chamber passes on the savings to you by charging
exactly what we are charged. If you are interested in securing a spot
to promote your business throughout Comal, Hayes and Guadalupe Counties
to over 65,000 listeners, please contact Jaynellen Ladd at 830-964-2223
or by email to exe...@canyonlakechamber.com. Take advantage of this
specially priced deal for Chamber Members, and expose your business.
