As Chamber President, I am pleased to present the Greater Lantana Chamber of Commerce 2004-2005 Membership Directory. It has been a long time coming.

One of the new events the Greater Lantana Chamber and the Town of Lantana are actively working on is a Green Market, to be centrally located in the downtown area. We actively support the Town of Lantana, and partner with the Town on our 4th of July Festival and Annual WinterFest Celebration. Some of the events the new Board of Directors are currently working on are a Surfing Contest and possibly a Motorcycle Cruise-In. This will be the 11th year for our Fishing Derby, and in the previous 10 years we have been able to show people what a great location the Greater Lantana area is in which to live, work and play.

We are proud of our relationship with the Town of Lantana and the Town of Hypoluxo and their businesses. We actively support our local businesses in their time of need. Their membership and participation in events in the area is greatly valued. I would like to invite those who are not members to contact our Greater Lantana Chamber of Commerce office for membership information. We are always looking for new members to work with us to build a better community

Sincerely,

Ron Washam
