THE MAGIC OF CLEAR LAKE!!
I am so proud of this dynamic community, and its
support of our Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce
over the past 75 years!! It is a testament to how
residents feel not only about the Chamber, but their
beloved piece of paradise called Clear Lake.
The Clear Lake Area Chamber will be celebrating our
75th year in the following special ways: introducing
two new programs in 2018 that hopefully will have
a major impact on the community, as well as North
Iowa; hosting a black-tie optional gala dinner at
the historic Surf Ballroom on Friday, May 4th (stay
tuned for more details on this as our Anniversary
Committee is working on all of the details); a special
Chamber travel tour that we are working on that will
knock your socks off; and a reunion of our five Lake
Leadership program participants later in the summer.
We will continue to represent this community and
our Chamber members in a way that will promote
and thoughtfully sustain our terrific way of life here
in Clear Lake!
Thanks again for a super 75 years. We’re anxious for
what’s next for us!
Sincerely.
Tim Coffey, M.A., IOM
