AWARDS OF EXCELLENCE:
The winner of this year’s Citizen of the Year is Ted Sale, Business Leader of the Year is Dorothy Case of Case Manor and the Outstanding Business Achievement Award went to British Empire Fuels . We had many nominations this year, and we would sincerely like to thank all those who took the time to put in their nominations and especially to those who were nominated. It is people like you that make Bobcaygeon such a great place to live!
The Spring Social was another great success this year, with fun games, excellent food, wonderful prizes and a good deal of merriment! Thanks to the Spring Social committee for all their hard work in putting together such a terrific evening.

FORBERT POOL MEMBERSHIP:
The Forbert Pool is still offering us special corporate rates for fitness memberships. This great deal applies to Bobcaygeon Chamber members and their employees. The more members that join, the greater the savings.

For example, if 10 Chamber members wish to join, their fee would be $136.00 per year (which includes use of workout centre, fitness classes and swimming pool). If 20 members join, the rate drops to $88.00 per person, if 30 members join it becomes $72.00 and if 40 of our members purchase a year membership it would then be only $64.00 per person. Please contact the office if you are interested in participating, so we can calculate the numbers.

MEMBER SURVEY ON SARS:
In the last Update we included a request made by the Ontario Chamber of Commerce to fill out a survey regarding the impact of SARS on business. Attached to this Update is a copy of the results of this survey.

NEXT CHAMBER UPDATE:
May 16th. If you have any info you would like to see in the next Update, or if you would like to place an ad, please call Tara. The deadline for info and ads is Tues, May 13th at noon.
