     Thank you to the Sylvan Heritage Council, Cameron County Council of the Arts, Cameron County Historical Society and Cameron County Chamber of Commerce for taking on those projects.

     The next item is to have more people/groups organize the details of those events that people in the community hope will happen during 2010.  Contact the chamber office at 486-4314 if you are willing to tackle a project listed here or another project that you would like to see take place.  Our next meeting will be at the end of August!  Enjoy the summer and put on those thinking caps!
