Thank you to Commissioner Gary Reese and his employees for restoring the entry into the little jetties and the sidewalk updates at the Kingfisher Beach Pavilion. The sidewalk enhancements allowed us to install a mobility mat. The mat will allow persons with disabilities or parents with strollers to access the beach and the water. Now someone can get out of their car and use the sidewalks down to the pavilion and out the other side to access the mat. We are very proud to make our beach more compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The mat is for everyone to use so enjoy!!

We held our membership appreciation casino party on Friday March 11th. We had a great turnout, and everyone seemed to enjoy the casino games and prizes. The Chamber Board of Directors is pleased to serve the membership and the community. Now is the time to renew or join the chamber. Membership applications can be found on our webpage at www.portoconnorchamber.com.

Remember the Farmers Market is the second Saturday of the month from 8:00-12:00 at the Kingfisher Beach Pavilion. Come support your neighbors as they sell homemade or homegrown products.
