Rally, collaboration and progress are three words that come to mind when I think about the current hot topics around your Chamber of Commerce. First, we are extremely excited at how the community has truly rallied around the new Friday Fun Night initiative. Thank you to all the businesses that have supported the effort with goodwill donations. An overwhelming number of entertainers have applied to be a part of our series. We look forward to showcasing all of the talent throughout the summer. events Morning Mingle June 13, 7:45am Bavarian Inn Restaurant Business After Hours June 25, 5-7pm Panda Ice Sorbetto Haus Ribbon Cutting Grand Opening June 26, 11am Fun Nights will continue every Friday from 6-8pm until the end chamberchatjune2013.indd 1 of September. If you are not receiving a weekly email with the line-up, please signup on the website at myfrankenmuth.org. Despite some questionable weather days, the energy has been contagious and the future of Friday nights in downtown Frankenmuth will most certainly be FUN! In addition to Fun Nights, you may have taken notice of the fun new Art Sculptures around town which are a fine example of collaboration. The effort is led by the Fine Arts Council and wouldn't be possible without many supportive sponsors. And at the end of May, the Chairs that Care were displayed in many businesses throughout town as well and then auctioned off in support of a sensory room at the Middle School. This is another fine example of collaboration between the businesses and our local school district. Being supportive of arts & culture adds value to the quality of life in a community and is a progressive movement that I am proud to say Frankenmuth and its businesses continued on page 7 6/4/13 1:11 PM
