What does that mean? Starting with our June issue of Chamber Chatter we will be delivering it by means of email. This format will allow us to send it to you more effectively, faster, and with more content. We will also be placing a copy of the newsletter on our website.
For our businesses that advertise in the newsletter, we will follow the same frequency that we currently use but you will only need to send us a digital copy of your ad or fliers that you would like to use. We are so excited about the possibilities of this new format and can not wait until you see the first issue! We do ask that you let us know if you have changed or updated your email address. We want to make sure that you receive every issue.

How traffic moves is beyond your control. It doesn't matter if you are in a hurry, uptight, or anticipating something at the end of your commute.
So why not relax and go with the flow? The laid-back approach will keep your blood pressure in check and your temper down. Here are some ways to do it:
Forget paybacks. Reckless drivers you encounter will get theirs. You've seen it happen. The speeder gets a ticket. The cutoff champ gets wrapped around a tree. They will reap the rewards of their actions.
See real people. Stay alert by seeing individuals around you rather than just seeing cars. What kind of people are they? What do they do, and where are they going?
Be considerate. Good drivers are polite on the road. It calms the occasional driver who may be hostile or violent.
Perk up your commute. Even a small change in routine, like taking a different road part of the time, will make the trip a little more interesting.

Did You Know? May 8th is World Red Cross Day
World Red Cross Day remembers and recognizes the efforts of National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies worldwide. According to the Red Cross website, this day recognizes:
"Worldwide efforts to advocate for the relief of human suffering, whether from disease, famine, disaster, or war. On May 8, the American Red Cross puts special focus on our programs that keep children healthy and safe around the globe."
The Red Cross provides humanitarian efforts and disaster relief around the world, wherever it is need-ed. There are millions of Red Cross volunteers.
You can celebrate World Red Cross Day and World Red Crescent Day in a variety of ways:
Learn more about the Red Cross Support Red Cross programs and efforts Send a donation to the Red Cross Donate blood today Become a Red Cross volunteer Thank Red Cross volunteers for their service. Origin of World Red Cross Day:
World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day dates back to 1922. At that time, the Czechoslovakia Red Cross National Society proclaimed a three-day truce at Easter to promote peace. The goal is to rec-ognize one day every year to advocate for the relief of human suffering from disease, and the humanity of seeing a world free from suffering due to war.
May 8th was chosen, as it is the birthday of Henry Dunant, the founder of the Red Cross.
