Hot, hot, hot! But the Maitland Chamber of commerce is in full swing
getting ready for the Taste of Maitland on Monday, October 15th from
5:30-8 p.m. This is the 15th annual event, and as in the previous
years, every year gets better and better.
Once again, Clear Channel has partnered with the chamber, and one of
their successful radio stations will be working with us and promoting
this awesome event. The City of Maitland, Performing Arts of Maitland
and the Art & History Museums once again will be partnering and making
it possible for the chamber to bring this event to the community.
Tickets will be going on sale starting in August for $20. You can also
buy tickets at the door for $25.
July also is very special month for me; on July 25, 2011 I started
with the Chamber. It has been a great year. Long days and weeks but
everything has been worth it. Whenever I go home I'm tired but I'm
happy.
Unfortunately, I've had to make the difficult decision to get off this
great ride to spend more time at home near my family. My husband, the
most supportive partner that a woman could hope for, and we still like
each other a lot. Now that we are almost "empty nesters" with our
precious daughter Nicole going into her senior year in UCF, I have
made the difficult decision to step down. I miss my home, my family
and friends.
I'm very thankful for the amazing friendships I have developed with
so many of you and what I've learned from local business owners that
didn't hesitate to answer any of my questions. From day one I felt
welcome and encouraged. A special thanks to Chief Doyle, it has been
an honor to work under your leadership and to my assistant Judy Lee,
the city staff and the council, library staff, and Arts & History
Museums staff. Also, thanks to Mayor Schieferdecker and Councilwoman
Reponen. Thank you for all the volunteer work hours we've done
together. I will remain a board member and help with consulting from
time to time.
Until next time... and don't forget to smile!
