If you have any ideas/concerns please feel free to contact me. We look forward to hearing from our members on what we can do better as a Chamber of Commerce.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Just as the Chamber is important to our community, YOU are important to the Chamber. Your investment in the Chamber means an investment in the community.

2. Intern programs for our High School Students. They are able to find jobs in our community that would have the potential for the students to stay working in our community.

8. Now Hiring? Help wanted promotion for your business that is looking for employees. We can help you find the perfect employee for the job.

9. Chamber Bucks: Chamber Bucks are checks that are only used at businesses who are Chamber Members. They are used like a cashiers check that can be used at a member's business.

Congrats on finding the Medallion and receiving $75 in Chamber Bucks. The questions stumped a lot of people and it was fun to work together as a team to find the prize!

Please fill out the form above to help us find the best day/time. The Chamber is thinking about bringing back our Monthly Luncheon meetings with our members. We plan to host these events at businesses who are interested in hosting. More information will be available once we have an idea of what works best for everyone.
