Dear Fellow Chamber Members,

Hope everyone enjoyed the blast of winter that visited the Clear Lake Area earlier in January. Luckily, the icing was not too severe and the local schools took precautions to make sure students and staff were safe! Gotta love Texas weather!

Typically, this time of year, we look forward to the annual Epicurean Evening in February at Space Center Houston, but because of the impressive Apollo 11 Exhibit currently on display, we had to push the event to April as food simply can’t be in or around such an impressive piece of history. But do not fret, you’ve got a great excuse to take in some of the tastes of Clear Lake as you take your better halves’ out for Valentine’s Day. If you need

some suggestions, go check out the “Restaurant” section in the Chamber directory at www.clearlakearea.com/directory.asp. Get out there and support our local restauranteurs! #buyintobayarea

Also start practicing your golf swing for the Annual Chamber Spring Fever Golf Tournament at Bay Oaks Country Club, Monday, March 26th and then find your buffet pants for the Epicurean Evening on April 3rd at Space Center Houston!

Make sure and check your email for a listing of events coming up throughout the month and come out and network with your fellow chamber members!

All the best,

Bryan D BogleChairman of the BoardGeneral Manager- Ventech Information Systems, Inc.
