I am writing this article as we complete the first week of 2014. I am encouraged about the new year here in the Lake Gaston region and with the Chamber of Commerce and am ready to get down to the business of supporting the businesses and communities around the region.
Here we are, Lake Gaston region, welcoming another new year! As everyone knows, it is traditional as we mark the passage of the old year into the new that we resolve to make the new year better than the one before. I think it is a common hope for humanity to be able to start anew with a plan to make positive changes.
Christmas is here! As I write this article, I’m amazed at how quickly the time has passed this year. Most recently, our Shop Lake Gaston First for the Holidays contest began first by chugging along, as people became familiar with the idea, then moved full-steam ahead until it drew to a close on December 19.
I don’t know about everyone else, but I am amazed that I am writing this article just one week prior to Christmas Eve.
As 2013 draws to a close, I want to take a moment to thank our Chamber members for giving us the opportunity to serve your business or organization and our communities through your membership in the Lake Gaston Regional Chamber of Commerce.
