President’s Message Dear CBA Members:

I hope you are enjoying the summer and warm weather, as I am, and taking advantage of all that the season has to offer.

This is an opportunity for me to thank our Chelmsford Police and Fire Departments for the work they do, 24/7/365, to help add to all the wonderful things that make Chelmsford special, and to ensure that life here continues to be safe. Often behind the scenes, it is important to know they are there when needed, and well trained to respond to all kinds of situations and special needs of citizens and visitors in our town. When I have observed situations in which an officer is able to calm things down in an emergency and just do what needs to be done, I am impressed and grateful to these men and women. They are here for us as citizens and they are here for us as local businesses. So again, thank you Chelmsford Police and Fire personnel.

Coming up soon will be our next Shred Day on Thursday September 22 at the Best Western Plus parking lot. A shredding-on-site truck from NE Record Retention will be here from 1 to 4 pm. This is a good time to clean out old files and bring them to be shredded – a free service provided to our members.

Please note on your calendar, the evening of Saturday, November 19. That is the date of the Annual CBA Holiday Dinner and it will be held for the second year in a row, at the newly renovated

ballroom at Princeton Station. Seating is limited so plan on making reservations when you receive your invitation in the fall. I look forward to seeing you there!

If you know of any businesses that might want to join the Chelmsford Business Association, or any new businesses coming to town, please let us know. You can contact me, or any member of the Board and we will follow up with a personal visit to explain the benefits of membership. A growing membership provides a stronger organization, and we are here to support each other in the business community, as well as to benefit to our town.

When this is printed, it will be August. Please get as much enjoyment as you can from the short but wonderful New England summer.
