2007-2008 Theme Stars on the Water of Rockport-Fulton. .
.
Shine with the Chamber! by Peggy Mayo
Starting a
new year with the Chamber is always exciting and this year we would like
to make it one to remember. “Stars on the Water of
Rockport-Fulton…Shine with the Chamber!” is our new Chamber theme
for the upcoming year. Who are our stars? Each member of our Chamber is
our shining stars, giving special star quality in everything they do!
Rockport-Fulton is a unique community because there is constant
comradery. All members live, work and play in our community and dedicate
many hours to volunteering. This makes us an impressive organization. In
addition to the people, Rockport-Fulton is so special because of the
windswept trees, beautiful blue water, exciting fishing and fascinating
birds. In the eyes of the many visitors who spend time here, we are the
luckiest community because we get to stay and play all year long!
My first experience with Rockport-Fulton was in 1996 and its beauty and
elegance wrapped me in immediately and I moved here as soon as I could.
I have now, lived and worked in the area since 1998. The amount of
friendliness and the remarkable instant acceptance we have felt from the
community has been overwhelming. I have made so many wonderful friends
that is hard for me to imagine living anywhere other than this “Star”
community.
We are excited about the upcoming year for the Chamber and will continue
working on promoting many events in the area. Promoting tourism and
commerce through our “Fall In Love” ad-campaign is still our priority.
Hummerbird will celebrate its 19th year, Christmas by the Bay is
planning to be bigger and better than ever this year, and Sea-A-Bration
and Seafair are also underway and will be enjoyed events by all. Monthly
luncheons and our popular Business Breakfasts will both begin in
September, so get ready!
Rockport-Fulton has so many events planned throughout the year so if you
would like to learn more about each fun activity, dedicate your time as
a volunteer with the Chamber or inquire about membership services
please, contact 729-6445 or visit our website at
www.rockport-fulton.org .
If I can be of any assistance answering your questions, please do not
hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing each of you at the
Chamber events throughout the year and remember, you are our “Stars
on the Water of Rockport-Fulton!” Come shine with the Chamber.
