Borrego Sun - Since 1949

As one can imagine, a town that thrives on tourism is being hit very hard due to the stay-at-home order. The Julian Chamber of Commerce continues to be very supportive of the businesses by promoting the many businesses and restaurants in town. The Chamber’s message is to postpone visitors’ travels to Julian while encouraging them to come back when it is safe to do so. Also, the Chamber is staying on top of the available financial resources for small businesses.

Robin Boland, Julian Chamber of Commerce Treasurer, office manager and marketing specialist regularly shares news updates with the Julian community.
