Ashe County Chamber of Commerce

Yesterday was a work day outside the office. David, Lily and I walked downtown and took care of some business and had a little bit of fun. I started by talking to the folks at town hall about NC business licensing, had a tasty Mexican lunch, stopped by a few art galleries, and joined the Ashe County Chamber of Commerce. Being an active contributor to the community is very important to me. Being an official member will provide me with lots of opportunities for sponsoring events, networking and helping out. I'm very excited!

After joining the Chamber we wrapped up the day with some yummy ice cream at this great little place downtown and then went and opened a local bank account. I currently do all my banking online, but we needed a local account for cashing checks and things like that.

Apart from becoming an official member of the chamber, ice cream was definitely my favorite part of the day. Of course. Here are some fun photos for you.

Ice Cream

I was not even going to photo my ice cream, as the size and chocolatey-ness of it was kind of embarrassing. And here's Bug, the kid who didn't waste a single drop of ice cream. She's the only 2 year old I've ever met who could eat ice cream and not get it all everywhere, let alone nowhere. She knows the importance of not wasting a drop.

All-in-all it was a productive and fun day. Today is hard-core work day so that I can enjoy a work-free weekend. The amount of work I want to get done today may be unrealistic, but I'll be pushing it!
