Fresno Chamber Mixer at Costco Warehouse #31

Costco Warehouse #31 November 17, 2011 Fresno Chamber Mixer

On November 17, 2011 Fresno Chamber Ambassadors and members had a chance to experience the Costco feast located at 4500 W. Shaw Avenue. The event was very well attended. I was so stuffed with the many samples of holiday goodies such as fruit pies, pumpkin pies, pumpkin cheese cake, sandwiches, & more. Don’t forget the Costco hot dogs and pizza. You can order your holiday gifts at the photo shop from photo canvas to greeting cards at a very affordable price. Costco is a one stop shop from food to travel, they have it all. Please come out and get your Costco membership card today to get your Holiday meals.

Contact Danny Mederios at 559 246-1025 for your Costco membership.

Ribbon Cutting - Mayfair Self Storage

The Fresno Chamber Ambassadors attended the ribbon cutting last month for the new Mayfair Self Storage, which opened April 1, 2011 in the historic post war Mayfair area of Fresno. In keeping with their historic surroundings, Mayfair Self Storage is not your average “mini-storage”. They have made every effort to keep the building historically accurate and worked tirelessly to make the neighborhood an attractive place to live, work and visit. Mayfair Self Storage has a history of being many different things. It was once not only part of the shopping center, but a jewelry store, drive-in theater, hamburger joint and real estate office. Now it stands again, in its former “art deco” glory. Even the antique clock on the tower has been restored to look as it once did decades ago.

Mayfair Self Storage commissioned a local artist to paint murals on the walls and landscaped around the property and alleys behind and surrounding the facility to beautify and help make the community feel proud of its history.

Mayfair Self Storage offers everything the “other guys” offer, and so much more. They are centrally located off Freeway 41 and McKinley Avenue, they are open from 6am until 9pm for regular storage and open 24 hours a day for business storage. They offer storage units with electricity for items that need storage and require power and they offer something I’ve never heard of from any storage place…you can use the Mayfair Moving Truck to bring your items in for FREE!!!!! For more information, please call (559) 233-0033 or visit their website http://www.mayfaircenterselfstorage.com/.
I highly recommend using Mayfair Self Storage for your business or personal items. They are locally owned and operated, they truly care about their customers and the community and they secure your property like it was their own.

Ribbon Cutting - Lassens Natural Foods & Vitamins

Lassen’s Natural Foods & Vitamins is FINALLY open in North Fresno into the old Bentley’s Market location on Friant and Fort Washington. This, literally, family owned and operated market is THE place to go for fresh organic foods and high quality vitamins and supplements.
The Fresno Chamber Ambassadors were greeted by, Peter Lassen, one of the 6 grandsons of the Lassen Family who spoke of the humble beginnings of what is now a thriving chain of 10 stores throughout Central and Southern California.
The idea behind Lassen’s Natural Foods & Vitamins started in Camarillo, CA in 1971 by Hilmar and Oda Lassen. The Lassen Family wanted a way to feed their growing family, and the community they lived in, with healthy, wholesome, organic, low-processed foods at a good price. Forty years later they are still going strong and growing strong. Maybe it’s all the healthy food and vitamins?
Please stop in and see for yourself the wide variety of items Lassen’s carries. From their fresh locally grown fruits and vegetables to healthy, organic packaged and “only buy what you need” binned items. They also carry free range, grass fed and wild caught poultry, meats and fish. Check out their extensive variety of vitamins and supplements and be sure to stop by their incredible deli, fresh salad bar and bakery! All of it delicious and healthy!!!
Go to http://www.lassens.com/for more information, coupons and great healthy recipes!

And remember to please support locally owned and operated business!

Ribbon Cutting - Maple Grove Apartments

Chamber Ambassadors attended on September 22nd a ribbon cutting, reception and tour of the newly remodeled and re-landscaped Maple Grove Apartment Homes at 2255 S. Maple Ave. Owned by San Mar Properties, Inc., Maple Grove boasts 120 one, two and three-bedroom units in a beautiful park-like setting, with a swimming pool, covered parking, twenty-four hour security, and on site laundry. Formerly called Orchard Square, San Mar acquired the property two years ago and changed the name and the look. Angel Martin and her crew treated the Ambassadors to a tour of one of the model apartments, and treated us to refreshments. We were all impressed by the design of the apartments, the beauty of the grounds, and the friendliness of the staff.
Congratulations to San Mar, to Angel, and to the entire team. We wish you all the best as new members of the Chamber and contributors to our Community.

Boxing is different from the traditional gym. Though one can take in aerobic exercises, the fighting training is the centerpiece of this gym. L.A. Boxing offers many different classes to people of all ages and all levels of experience. It offers a classic boxing, kickboxing and mixed martial arts experience, complete with 16-ounce gloves and 150-pound punching bags for its members.
