At the May Business After Hours, the Chamber made two exciting
announcements surrounding the 38th Annual Arts Festival to be held
on Saturday, September 10th in downtown Bethany Beach. First on the
docket, Schell Brothers signed as the presenting sponsor for the
festival. The newly-formed partnership will allow this mainstay
event to grow and flourish while providing an economic boost to our
business community after the summer season. Thank you to Schell
Brothers for its continued support of the Chamber. Also, to
increase exposure of our members, the Discover the Arts and
Antiques Tour of the Quiet Resorts will make its debut as a
self-guided tour available to art enthusiasts who want to
experience the local flavor. The current Bethany Beach Arts
Festival Program will be expanded to the Discover the Finer Things
Guide. The Discover the Arts and Antiques Tour Map will now be in
the centerfold of the publication while businesses, who create and
sell fine arts and antiques, will be featured in the second-half of
the publication. The Bethany Beach Arts Festival will continue to
be highlighted in the front half of the Discover the Finer Things
Guide. The guide and map will be distributed at the festival as
well as in the Chamber Information Center throughout the
year. In addition, all the information will be available on the
BethanyBeachArtsFestival.com website. Whether a resident or
visitor, the Discover the Arts and Antiques Day Tour will be a fun,
entertaining way to explore and shop throughout the Quiet Resorts.
All Chambers members, who meet the criteria of fine arts and
antiques, will be listed in the Discover the Finer Things Guide as
a destination on the Discover the Arts and Antiques Tour Map as a
benefit of membership. Enhanced listings and opportunities to
advertise are also available in the Discover the Arts and Antiques
Tour Program to qualified members. Confirm your ad today!

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: EWGA EASTERN SHORE CHAPTER
One of the gems in our beautiful area is the Eastern Shore
Chapter of the Executive Women’s Golf Association (EWGA), which is
celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Founded in 1991, EWGA
is the largest women-focused national amateur golf association in
the United States with chapters located in more than 100 cities as
well as international chapters in Bermuda, Canada and Italy.
According to Director of Marketing Judy Kight, the Eastern Shore
Chapter “has it all. Offering leagues at all ability levels, golf
clinics, tournaments, mentoring programs and social gatherings year
round (many of which are co-ed), and more; there is something for
everyone.” Kight feels joining the Bethany-Fenwick Area Chamber of
Commerce a little over a year ago has been very beneficial in terms
of meeting potential new members and sponsors at the various
networking events. She gives a lot of credit for the Chapter’s
success to its president, and Chapter founder, Nancy Dofflemyer,
who recently received the EWGA’s prestigious Nancy Oliver Founder’s
Award, the organization’s highest honor for its volunteers. The
Chapter’s 20th anniversary is being celebrated by a special event
each month of the year, culminating with a gala at Lighthouse Sound
in September. Kight shares “the friendships made and activities
offered throughout the year make the EWGA Eastern Shore Chapter a
wonderful organization.” Whether you are a self-proclaimed hacker,
an accomplished golfer, or somewhere in between, the EWGA Eastern
Shore Chapter has something “fore” you!
