Dear Chamber Members,
We recently cut the ribbon to announce the new Bike Rental Program at the Watertown/Oconomowoc InterUrban Trailhead in Watertown. This project was created by the Leadership Watertown Class of 2022-2023 with funding by several generous sponsors. The sign was recently installed at the trailhead, be sure to stop by there and check it out. Help us spread the word about this great opportunity right here in Watertown.
Please join us next Wednesday for Lunch and Learn with Mayor McFarland. The mayor will be sharing information about the Main Street Reconstruction in 2028. The cost is only $10 to cover your lunch. RSVP to: barb@watertownchamber.com
Also next week join us for Business After Hours at The Collective. Find all the details in the Chamber Calendar portion of our newsletter.
Our next bi-weekly newsletter will be sent out October 4th. During this time if your organization is hiring, offering programs, or have events to promote, please let us know so we can share with our membership and the community. Please send information by Friday, September 29th to info@watertownchamber.com.
