What’s in it for you?
This week we celebrated “Support Your Local Chamber of Commerce Day.”
The event occurs on the third Wednesday in October throughout the U.S. to celebrate businesses that belong to the Chamber. Due to the membership, support and friendship of the chamber, we find ourselves moving forward in a positive direction even during this challenging pandemic. We are extending this Chamber Day so the we can say “thank you” for the impact this has in making the Chamber an integral part of this region and beyond.
