tion and save a spot it’s always a GOOD TIME!!! Get

So…… did any of you take my advice to get involved last month? Did
you attend at least one event in May? Why, you ask? For YOUR sake!
All the activities this Chamber plans are with YOU in mind. They are
all opportunities to network. They are all designed with our members
in mind. I was always told “if it is to be, it’s up to me.”
Don’t Forget
Lisle French Market Come out and enjoy the 2015 season featuring new vendors, including
a knife sharpening service, and of course, your favorite prior vendors
will be on-site. Look for MANY new products such as a variety of
fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, kettle corn, hot dog concession, honey,
Columbian coffee and tea, gourmet bakery items, donuts made fresh
on-site, handcrafted jewelry, soaps, lotions, wood carvings and other
artisan crafts! Weekly entertainment and monthly food demonstrations
will augment your shopping experience! This event is a pleasant
amenity for the people of our community and also presents some very
unique opportunities for our local businesses and non-profits. Contact

The rain did not interrupt Lisle’s Memorial Day Parade
and Picnic on Monday, May 25, 2015. This is a major
event for Lisle’s Ross Bishop VFW Post 5696. This
year’s Grand Marshal was Sergeant Richard Varney,

Chevrolet for loaning the Lisle Area Chamber of Com-
merce a Corvette for the parade. Sonny Smith, Paula
Gleason and Mark Acquaviva represented the Lisle

senting Sponsor for all Cruise Nights. Costumed characters, a magi-
