Chamber growth continues as another month begins

The Boerne Star said it best earlier this month: “Boerne chamber’s growth explosion continues.”

Last month, we celebrated reaching our 900th member milestone and continue to work to enable the success of our business community. We are kicking off another busy month this Sunday, May 1, from 1 to 4 p.m. for Lemonade Day, presented by our friends at Sonora Bank!

Lemonade Day is a free, fun, experiential learning program that teaches youth how to start, own and operate their own business – a lemonade stand. Stop by and visit one of our community’s young entrepreneurs on the first Sunday of May. More than 150 stands will be set up around town, and you can find one near you using the map available at www.lemonadeday.org/boerne.
