FROM BRENDA DENNIS

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, MILLBROOK AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Well friends, the clouds have lifted, and it is a glorious time at the Millbrook Area Chamber of Commerce! Our Facebook page is back up and running and we will be launching a brand-new social media schedule soon that will enhance our coverage on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, so stay tuned for more on that.

We are also preparing for many events that will be coming up in the next few weeks (see details below), including our Fall Luncheon on September 16th. Space will be limited due to efforts to keep things socially distanced, so I encourage all of you to grab a seat by going to https://www.eventbrite.com/e/167878738827

to get your tickets before they run out. Our special guest speaker will be Cheri Petterson from Growth Zone, who will take you all on a tour of the member portal of our new website.

Looking for a way to make an ordinary day fun? Well, today is your lucky day because it is National “Just Because” Day! While you’re enjoying some spontaneous decision making today, remember to still scroll down in this email for lots of important MACC Chamber member information 😊.

NATIONAL JUST BECAUSE DAY

On August 27th National Just Because Day offers up an opportunity to do stuff…just because. Feel free to celebrate this day any way you choose. Just because!

Every day we all do things that are expected or required of us. Sometimes we even do things because we have to do them, we don’t know why. Well, on this occasion, that does not apply. This day is a chance to do something without rhyme or reason.

It could be that there is an outfit at the mall that you are admiring; buy it…just because.

Maybe you want to use a vacation day just to go fishing; do it…just because.

Perhaps you would like to pay the tab for the table next to you at your favorite restaurant; do it…just because.

Possibly you want to sing really loud while you’re in your car, by yourself, with your windows rolled down; do it…just because.

Surprise someone with flowers…just because!

Make something up…just because!

Or maybe, just maybe, do something just because Mom said so.
