Hello Kern River Valley,

I want to welcome our newest member to the Kern River Valley Chamber, Lee’s Trees in Lake Isabella is a fully licensed and insured arborist if you are needing tree services in the Kern River Valley.

June 2024, it’s hard to believe we are already almost half way through this calendar year.  With that said our annual brush clearance should now be completed.  

This past Friday we experienced our first brush fire of the season, thank you to the fire fighters on the ground and the air teams who took control to ensure the safety of our community.  This is just a wakeup call for every property owner to understand the value of proper brush clearance, you are your first line of defense against a bushland fire.

On July 18, 2024 you chamber of commerce is partnering with Ms. Wendy of the Fire Safe Counsel to hold our first meeting regarding what is needed to establish a Fire Wise Community at the senior center in Lake Isabella.  A fire wise community will have an impact on your home owner’s insurance, a number of carriers are offering discounts for homes within our region who are part of a fire wise community.  So come on out and let us find out together what we can do to be a key part of making this happen in your housing tract.

We want to thank our volunteers who placed our flags along the boulevard on Memorial Day as we honored those who have served this great country and we will be placing flags on June 14, 2024 as we honor Flag Day.  If you would like to volunteer to place flags or take them down please reach out to the chamber of commerce, we are always in need of addition hands. It takes roughly an hour to place them and an hour and a half to pick them up.

On June 12 at 12:00 our monthly general meeting which is held at the Eagles in Mtn Mesa will have a special guest speaker.  Ms. Felicia Nagel with the Kern County District Attorney’s Office, we are looking forward to hearing from her as they always seem to have information for the KRV which needs to be said. If you wish to attend please RSVP with Liz at the chamber or online through our website, side note the meals served are just amazing.

Your chamber of commerce is here for you, please utilize our services as you need us.

Thank you and stay safe,

Fred Clark
