Chairman’s Message<br />
If<br />
I<br />
your summer was like mine, you are likely just<br />
starting to slow down from a very busy season on<br />
the beach. As school starts back<br />
Iand Labor Day approaches, it’s the time<br />
<strong>of</strong> year we all start planning for football<br />
season, cooler temperatures, and<br />
hopefully a break from all this rain.<br />
Additionally for many, it’s the time<br />
<strong>of</strong> year we start looking ahead to<br />
2013. Budgeting, planning, and<br />
staffing all take center stage in our<br />
working world. In our personal lives,<br />
many look to a new year to commit<br />
to changing our lifestyles with<br />
a newfound focus on diet and<br />
exercise.<br />
<strong>This</strong> issue <strong>of</strong><br />
The Circuit is centered on Health &<br />
Wellness<br />
ness. Those <strong>of</strong> you who know me well understand<br />
that running is a daily routine for me, and exercise and<br />
sports s are deeply rooted in my family life. There is<br />
President’s Message<br />
Business is good on the beach! I can’t remember<br />
the last time <strong>Panama</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> had a more<br />
prosperous summer than we Bdid in 2012, and our accommodations,<br />
attractions and restaurants can vouch<br />
for that. Visitors and residents alike<br />
enjoyed all our great community has<br />
to <strong>of</strong>fer at its highest potential. As<br />
summer is quickly coming to an end<br />
and everyone is heading back to work<br />
and school, we are preparing for a<br />
very EVENTful fall.<br />
The <strong>Panama</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> <strong>Chamber</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Commerce</strong> and Florida Restaurant<br />
and Lodging Association have<br />
partnered together to bring to you<br />
the <strong>Panama</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> Seafood & Music Festival:<br />
UNwineD 2012. <strong>This</strong> festival will take place the<br />
last weekend in October at Capt. Anderson’s Marina.<br />
We are working diligently to make sure we give our<br />
community a high quality, memorable event. The<br />
<strong>Beach</strong> <strong>Chamber</strong>’s 3rd Annual Golf Classic is also the<br />
last weekend <strong>of</strong> October at Hombre Golf Club. <strong>This</strong><br />
event was a favorite <strong>of</strong> our members last year and is<br />
sure to be again this fall. Coming soon in December<br />
2012 is a half-marathon race, Run for the Redfish, that<br />
the <strong>Beach</strong> <strong>Chamber</strong> has also decided to host. We look<br />
forward to seeing everyone come out to Pier Park this<br />
winter for a truly inspiring event.<br />
nothing more enjoyable to me that watching my kids<br />
play travel or school sports.<br />
As the summer winds down, I<br />
encourage each <strong>of</strong> you not to wait until<br />
the New Year to “get out and about”<br />
and focus yourselves on health and<br />
fitness. As you flip through the pages<br />
<strong>of</strong> this issue, see where you can find<br />
opportunities to incorporate healthier<br />
choices into your day to day activities.<br />
You’ll notice the <strong>Chamber</strong> is presenting<br />
the<br />
Run for the Redfish on December<br />
1, so please sign up; you have plenty <strong>of</strong><br />
time to start training now.<br />
The <strong>Chamber</strong> calendar is full <strong>of</strong> events<br />
and opportunities to be engaged in our community. As<br />
always, the <strong>Chamber</strong> staff is here to assist you in any<br />
way possible.<br />
Best regards,<br />
In early August, two <strong>of</strong> my staff and myself attended the<br />
ACCE Conference in Louisville, Kentucky. <strong>This</strong> great<br />
experience led us to a better knowledge<br />
in the art <strong>of</strong> negotiation, marketing for<br />
our members and beneficial chamber<br />
information. At this conference I realized<br />
how incredibly proud I am <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Panama</strong><br />
<strong>City</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> <strong>Chamber</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Commerce</strong><br />
and our accomplishments and growth<br />
through the years. Our members have<br />
truly given us the potential to be able to<br />
positively contribute to our community.<br />
We look forward to another great season<br />
with endless possibilities for the <strong>Beach</strong><br />
<strong>Chamber</strong>.<br />
Happy fall!<br />
