It hasn’t really felt like spring until lately and it’s a
good thing because there are some great summer
events are just around the corner! We look forward
to seeing you at the best golf outing of the year –
The Roselle Chamber of Commerce Annual Golf
Outing. Foursomes are still available if you are
looking for great way to reward clients or build
relationships with new clients. On June 7 we are
excited to partner with the Village of Roselle to
host the Annual Rose Parade, showcasing why Roselle is a great place to live
and do business.
Last month the Chamber helped you understand your property tax bill as we
heard from Bloomingdale Township Assessor John T. Dabrowski. We also
enjoyed a great evening at the Business After Hours at BMO Harris Bank. This
month’s Business After Hours will be a great night of fun and networking as
we visit Lights, Camera, Dancin’ We look forward to visiting their studio that
has turned out national award winning teams. Lights, Camera, Dancin’ teams
have performed at venues such as the Daley Center, the Morton Arboretum, the
Brookfield Zoo, and on the Boardwalk in New Jersey!
Don’t forget to mark your calendar for the Chamber’s Casino Night on October
9. This was a great success last year and the Chamber is looking forward to
another great community event. Once again Chamber members can collect
playing cards by attending Chamber events, beginning with the Golf Outing.
Collect as many cards as you can because the best five card poker hand turned
in at Casino Night will win a cash prize!
One of the most valuable aspects of the Roselle Chamber for our business has
been meeting those I perceived to be successful in Roselle. Sometimes I bent
their ear for a tip. Sometimes I strived to emulate something they did for their
business. Regular attendance at Chamber functions helped me learn how to be
successful in Roselle by knowing those who were already successful. You can’t
meet them if you aren’t there! See you at the next event!

56th Annual Rose Parade
Mark your calendars for Sunday, June 7 and join the crowd to watch
the 2015 Rose Parade as it strolls through town!
Member businesses who are participating as an entry will discover
our parade is a great way to promote your business to the hundreds
of spectators lining the parade route. Line-up notices will be mailed
to parade applicants this month. The notice will provide your lineup number, instructions for staging/drop-off procedures, and a
parade route map. Please be sure to distribute this information to all
members of your unit!
The Parade Committee
is looking for volunteers
to help with assembly
on Sunday, June 7.
If
interested, please call Gail
Croson at the Chamber
office.
In an effort to enhance our parade, the Parade Committee has developed guidelines for all parade
entrants. So please remember, all entries must show some effort in their presentation by providing
visual or audio amusement for spectators.
We look forward to the sights and sounds of this year’s parade and hope to see you there!
