From the Executive Director’s Desk:
Busy, busy, busy...
There are a lot of exciting things about to happen in our little city of Twentynine Palms - there are new businesses that will be opening their doors over the next couple of months, the International Joshua Tree Art Expo and the Highway 62 Open Studio Art Tour are coming up, we are making plans to welcome the "Babes" for their annual "Babes Ride Out" this October, and preparations are at full throttle for the 81st Annual Pioneer Days! All of these events bring visitors to the Morongo Basin and more importantly to Twentynine Palms! Today I am attending the Inland Empire Small Business Development Forum in San Bernardino and am looking forward to bringing back some solid, good advice for our small businesses - but keep your eyes open for upcoming networking mixers, home-based business events and much more!
PROFESSIONALS NIGHT
Our next
Professionals Night will be a presentation by
Cynthia Truitt, Head of Business Development for Marine Corps Community Services. Cynthia will share all the great (and affordable!) ways you can market your business aboard the Combat Center. With 22,000+ people and a total payroll impact of $635 Million, this is an audience you DON’T want to miss! Options for every budget ~ includes professional strategic ad design and placement. Looking forward to seeing you
Thursday, August 10th from 6:00 to 8:00pm at the
Twentynine Palms Chamber of Commerce. Those who have attended our Professionals Nights have been very pleased with the information they’ve received and are making use of what they learned – if you have an idea or a suggestion for a future speaker please email
29chamber@29chamber.org or call
(760) 367-3445.
2017/2018 is going to be busy for the Twentynine Palms Chamber of Commerce and we need your help! We are currently seeking gracious volunteers for our upcoming events. We have a variety of ways for you to become involved in enriching our community. We appreciate any time, services or skills that you have to share. Please call (760) 367-3445 or email 29chamber@29chamber.org for more information or to sign up.
It’s a busy time here at the Chamber as I’m sure it is for you. We are continuing to work aggressively to advance the goals set for this year and we will continue to work alongside you, investing in good ideas and building a better support network for our membership. Although we change some things we keep others the same…we still work hard to be flexible, accessible and thoughtful to your needs. That is after all what we’re all about.
This month we will be launching our new website. With a crisp new design layout and better functionality we think we look good but we’d love to hear your comments, thoughts and questions after the rollout.
Have a great week!

Birds and people depended on this body of water just like they do today. In this program you’ll learn about the special birds associated with this lake that was six times bigger than today’s Salton Sea...
Bring your lunch, bring your friends, or just bring yourself to our Brown Bag Lunch Lecture Series once a month. Speakers will present topics of special interest for high desert residents.
The lectures start at 12:00 p.m. Admission is $ 5 – Free for Members/Sponsors – beverages will be served. Visit their facebook page for complete details
