I am excited as we move forward into 2014! Our Chamber is an integral part of several

communities and I am extremely grateful for all who contributed to making 2013 a tremendously successful year for

us. Our events, luncheons, after hours, lead groups, and ribbon cuttings have been growing with more and more

members joining in our festivities. This is what has made our Chamber such a strong supporter of each other and our

businesses. North County remains strong, thanks to our members. I look forward to continued growth and success

with the upcoming year.

I send out a big thank you to everyone who put together our Nite of Stars Gala at the Detrick Atrium last month.

What a huge success. The room was beautiful, filled with chatter, laughter, fun, music and entertainment for all. We

appreciate everyone who supported this year’s event with your attendance, your sponsorships, and all of the amaz-

ing auction items. Special thanks to Howard Nimmons and Kevin McClain for being our delightful auctioneers

during our live auction portion of the evening.

I would also like to thank and congratulate Pat and Lora Click as they were announced as our 2014 Business

Persons of the Year. Pat and Lora have donated so many years of time, energy, money, and support to help our

North County community. This amazing couple is so deserving of this honor. We will be formally recognizing the

Clicks at our upcoming Installation Dinner in April 2014. More details will follow in the coming months.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season with family and friends. I look forward to what lies ahead for

us in 2014! Thank you to all for your continued support.
