Even after a week of torrential rains during the prior weekend, we had a well-attended Sundowner at Rawhide Ranch last month. Over 50 souls braved the muddy roads to find an excellent spread of food and feisty entertainment. New members and guests were introduced and enjoyed the networking among those attending.

The Bonsall Chamber of Commerce office in the River Village has been ably “manned” by volunteers since first being set up a couple years ago. To relieve the pressure on the volunteers, this last year we were able to hire a part-time officeperson, Debbie Schweibold. At this point in our maturation process we have decided to hire a full-time person. Our board feels the chores now being requested by our members require that we retain a full-time person with multiple office and computer skills.

We are looking forward to our next Sundowner at Pala Mesa Resort on February 10 because we will introduce a new fun activity. Attendees all are encouraged to bring a prize that relates to their business. These items will be raffled. Hopefully, everyone will go home with a prize and we will develop a new revenue stream that will help fund our office.
