NEW MEMBER— Congratulations to Canvas Crazee for being a new member of the Rockdale Chamber.

We will have their ribbon cutting on March 17th, come join us.

BUDDIES—The Rock-dale Downtown Association announces the formation of a “buddy system.”

Each board member has been challenged to fi nd fi ve Buddies each to assist the Rockdale Downtown Association in carrying out its mission and goals.

This board of directors is energetic and wants to put the downtown area on the right course but knows that it cannot do everything itself.

We therefore are trying to expand our footprint with buddies.

If this sounds interesting to you and you want to know more, you can call Collier Perry at 512-809-8004 and he will see that one of the RDA board members calls you with details and an invitation to join RDA as a buddy.
