View in a browser We’re trying something new After receiving some objections to the number of e-mails we send out, we have decided to try something new. Instead of sending out several e-mails about a single event, we’re going to send one e-mail per month with a list of upcoming Chamber events that members might be interested in attending. But don’t worry, you will still receive Mixer and Good Morning SLO reminders as well as the SLO e-Flyers, e-Insider and SLO-Business.com e-Newsletter. But hopefully this will help cut down on the number of e-mails in your Inbox. Here are some important upcoming events:           March 16 – Membership Mixer at the Cypress Ridge Golf Course Mature cypress trees, lush green fairways and cool fresh ocean air make Cypress Ridge a golfers' paradise.
