& Ben Scroggin.
Here's an UPDATE on their needs: Shane Rapp requests a defibrillator

These two fine gentlemen patrol Canyon Lake and the Guadalupe River
areas for our community.

it to the Chamber no later than 4:30 on Friday before the mixer, July

Live Auction, so the bigger the better! Thank you, Brenda of the
Canyon Lake Boat Club at Cranes Mill Marina for the 3-1/2 hrs ski boat

to Bill Rilat, Associate and Volunteer, and Terry Hopper, Global

Yee Haw, Ya'll!
Looking Ahead! Canyon Lake Chamber of Commerce has gone through many
changes and growth in the past several years. Two years ago the
Chamber Board looked at Chamber hosted events and programs and made
some hard decisions to continue or cancel them. This was a long and
hard process, but we accomplished a lot. In order to be united and to
best serve our community, the CANYON LAKE BOARD OF DIRECTORS and
Executive Director Jaynellen Ladd met on Friday, June 15 for a Board
Retreat. President of the Texas Association of Business, Art Roberts,
facilitated. Recommendations were to prioritize the work program and
the role of the Chamber. In progress is the restructuring and
reorganizing of the Board, the by-laws, policies and procedures plus
the implementation of Task Force Committees. Plans are to create a
positive economic impact in our community while keeping on task with
our Mission Statement, which is also being reevaluated. The Annual
Membership Meeting will be held on September 18th this year, with the
location to be determined. The new direction will be revealed at that
time. We need the help of strong leaders in our community! If you
would like to participate in a Task Force sub-committee or would like
to discuss volunteer opportunities, please contact Jaynellen Ladd at
830.964.2223 Monday - Friday.
Canyon Lake Business Network Sessions have been temporarily suspended
for the summer months and will return in September to run monthly
September - February. During this hiatus we will be collecting topics
of interest for the future meetings. Please send your ideas for
topics to ad...@canyonlakechamber.com. This next phase of meetings
will be bigger and better, so plan to join us again in September!
