Guest speakers are:
- Deschutes County Commissioners Patti Adair, Phil Chang and Tony DeBone

- A panel of experts from banking and real estate establishments discussing what’s on the horizon
La Pine Chamber director Ann Gawith and Sunriver Chamber director Kristine Thomas invite community members and business leaders to attend the breakfast, catered by Josie K’s Deli.
“The success of any community is achieved by building bridges,” Thomas said. “Building bridges requires inviting people to the table to learn what’s happening in their community, encouraging them to ask questions and asking them what they would like for the future of the community.”
