“Tra la it’s May, the lusty month of May, that lovely month when everyone goes blissfully astray” – Welcome to May, a truly lovely month indeed! I hope you are enjoying what has been a terrific month so far…As many of you know I love Broadway musicals and the opening line of my post is from the Lerner and Lowe classic “Camelot.”
I know that many of you are beginning to think about real spring, patio furniture out, gardening supplies in your driveways and plenty of spring time celebrations such as graduations, Mothers Day and any holiday you can think of! May I suggest that you check out the chamber’s member directory for all your household, business and personal needs. You will find over 800 members that offer an array of services and business opportunities. The member directory link is http://www.newburyportchamber.org/member_directory.shtml. If you have further questions please feel free to call the chamber for more information at 978-462-6680. We’d be happy to help you!

Also, Newburyport Preservation Week is just around the corner as well. Start now and plan for a week of preservation activity in Newburyport. The events begin on May 17 and run through May 23. For more information check out http://www.nbptpreservationtrust.org/
We offer a weekly Member2Member email program in which chamber members can directly communicate via email with other chamber members. These very popular Member2Member emails can be shared with anyone. Often times the information is a banking service offer, a new restaurant menu or announcement of a special event. So here is a sample of this week’s offerings.
Essex Heritage
Govener’s Academy
