When signing up residents have a choice on which types of warnings they would like to receive. This will also update the Community Notification System with current contact details. There is no charge for this service.

Greetings!
Happy 4th of July!
We hope everyone has a fun and safe weekend and 4th of July.
The Glenwood Lakes Area Chamber & Welcome Center will be closed on Tuesday, July 4, 2017 and closed on Friday, July 7, 2017.
Cheryl Holtkamp joined us as a volunteer intern for six week this summer. We are very fortunate to have Cheryl help us with various projects and programs. Scroll down and learn more about Cheryl.
We had another successful "Music in the Park" last Thursday night with over 100 people attending the concert. Even though the weather was on the cool side it was a nice evening for a concert.
Our next concert will be at Central Square as our musical group is too large for the band shell. You will find more information in this newsletter about "Songs of Hope" and the other upcoming events.
As always, there is "Plenty to do in Glenwood & Pope County!"
Have a good week and weekend!
We would like to congratulate The Grog Shop Municipal Liquor Store, on being chosen as the Glenwood Lakes Area Chamber June Member of the Month!
This week's Community Comments is sponsored by the following Glenwood Lakes Area Chamber Members & Individual/Family Supporters:
WELCOME CHERYL
Hello! My name is Cheryl Holtkamp. I graduated from Minnewaska in 2014 and from Winona State University this past May with a BA in Public Relations and Communications. After graduating I joined AmeriCorps and will be begin my year of service at the Minnesota Children’s Museum this upcoming August. While I was home for the summer it was important for me to give back to the community that gave me so much, for that reason I reached out to Scott and Kay at the Chamber and Welcome Center and asked if they would be interested in having an intern. I have now been here for about three weeks and have worked on a variety of projects. I look forward to the adventures and experiences that these next couple of weeks and years hold.

July 13th -
Music in the Park moves to Central Square on Thursday, July 13th at 7:00 p.m. for this
One World Concert..
Songs of Hope™ is a six-week, overnight performing arts summer camp in Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA for kids aged 10 and older from around the world. More than just a performing arts camp, Songs of Hope™ offers participants a unique opportunity to live in community with kids from other countries and cultures while learning and performing music from many countries.
Each summer, a select group of no more than 60 children and young adults venture to Minnesota from Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and the U.S. They arrive as strangers but soon find themselves embraced in a closely-knit, supportive community as they learn popular songs and dances from each other’s cultures. Then, they take these songs of peace, love, and respect into neighboring communities in a joyous celebration of cultural unity, delighting their audiences along the way.
The lessons learned during these six weeks are profound. The friendships are enduring. And the stories are inspirational. Taking part in the Songs of Hope™ camp is a transformational experience. To learn why, please explore this website. We have a lot of details, videos, and photos so you can read, see, and hear for yourselves.
