Editor:
For the past 13 years, I have had the honor and privilege of being the “welcome hostess” for the Sweet Home Chamber of Commerce.
As of Sept. 21, my participation in the program has been canceled per the new board of directors.
I want to thank all of the sponsors who supported the program through free gifts, discounts and services.
I also want to thank the many families that welcomed me into their homes so I could share the events and places of interest in and around Sweet Home, the free fishing derby, the fish hatchery, Foster Lake and Green Peter Dam, Lewis Creek Park for swimming, the rodeo, parade an fireworks, the Jamboree, the wonderful Christmas events, and all the fun things to see and do in Sweet Home, making each visit special to pass on to the families.
Many had no idea that we had so much to offer and many free things to enjoy.
To wrap up, thank you again for letting me share the welcome program with all of you these past years.
