My Dear Chamber Members,

I want to thank you for the guidance and mentoring of the last five years. I have loved working with a team of “Roll Up Their Sleeves” Tolucans.

We made the village a winter wonderland.

We lit up Ramsey Shilling with snowflakes, snow, actors, bands choirs, hot dogs, banners …2 banners, a trolley, one year we had the battle of the bands on every corner, children’s choirs, all men’s choirs, young adult choirs, the Magical Christmas Truck for 2 years, rock and roll musical trucks, a car show, hot dogs again.

We decorated Riverside Drive with all of the trees wrapped in lights, huge silk ornaments and stars and swans and glorious reindeer in the median.

We had sponsors and a donor tree. We made money and spent money. This Village came out and celebrated. Merchants gave, smiled and had a great time, year after year.

Thank you for always saying Yes.
