Chamber of Commerce happenings ...

The Big Spring Area Chamber of Commerce is getting back into the swing of things as more and more events begin to be placed on the calendar.

Last week, the first Alive After 5 of 2021 was hosted by C. Larson Real Estate, offering business professionals in the community an opportunity to network. According to Debbye Valverde, Executive Director of the Big Spring Area Chamber of Commerce there are still available hosting dates this year for those local businesses looking to be featured as an Alive After 5 host. The events serve as a monthly opportunity for business professionals, business owners and community members to gather together to network and find out about upcoming events and opportunities in the community. There is no charge to host an Alive After 5 event, for Chamber members. Each event is hosted by a local business and a local restaurant, and offer an avenue to not only highlight local business, but feature different eateries in the community.

In addition to Alive After 5, the Thank You presentations are restarting and will be extending appreciation for investment back into the community. The next Thank You presentation will be featuring Marcy Place on March 23, followed by the Hangar 25 Air Museum on March 30.

Ribbon cuttings are also an important part of community growth and on March 30, directly following the Thank You presentation at Marcy Place, the Life Center will be unveiling to the community the new expansion and added services.

Lastly, the annual health fair is close to being announced. Final details are being lined out and an announcement regarding this year’s health expo will be released in the coming week. Last year the health fair was postponed and then eventually cancelled due to the pandemic and increase in cases of Covid-19. This year, as the State of Texas begins to open up and more vaccinations become available, the decision has been made to move forward with the event, with the addition of a few changes. Social distancing will be encouraged during the event.
