It’s been a while since you heard from me, but I haven’t fallen off the earth just yet! I’m just like each of you — extremely busy with everything under the sun.

I have a couple of quick updates and notes for you. First off, please join me in welcoming Jenette Lewis to our Chamber family. Jenette is the new manager at the Ellis Days Inn. Stop in, say hi and welcome her to the gang. Jenette is currently seeking great people to fill some housekeeping jobs, so if you know someone that would like some extra cash and a great job, send them Jenette’s way!

Next, a huge thank you goes out to the Prayer & Action Mission Teams that have been working very hard in the Ellis community. We appreciate everything that you have done while here, and I hope each and every member of the teams knows that they are making a difference each day in someone’s life and, again, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

This Friday at 7 p.m., the Ellis Baptist Church will be showing the movie, “God’s Not Dead.” Make plans to come and enjoy a great show in downtown Ellis!

July 1 is the official opening day for Big Creek Floral & Gifts. I’m so excited, I can hardly wait. Come to Ellis to welcome Jim and his new business and while you’re here, make a day of it. Visit the museums, eat lunch at one of our tasty restaurant options, and have a great time in Ellis.

Well, I said it would be quick, so I guess that’s it for now. Off to the next item on the list of things to do!

Have a great day everyone!
