Hello Chamber Members,
We realize the
last several weeks have been very trying for the businesses in Callaway County. Through this pandemic, the Chamber staff has actively worked to provide the information needed to our membership about potential programs, financial resources, professional development, grant opportunities and communications necessary to help guide you through this usual time. We hope that you received all of the communications and they were helpful in navigating your business needs. Check out the video below on the things we have done for you and your business.

A Thank you so much for those who attended our first ever VIRTUAL Business Breakfast hosted by Atkins, Inc! It was so good to connect and network with everyone again and we can't wait to do this in person! Also, congratulations to Melissa Siegel for winning the Casey's Breakfast Pizza! YUM! And special thanks to our
BB GIVEAWAY Sponsor, Central Bank
! Glen Jones was not present at the Business Breakfast so that means our pot is now up to $75!
We do have an update on June's networking events and we want to thank Danuser for hosting the Business After Hours, however, this event will be cancelled for June. Stay tuned for details on August's Business After Hours (there is NO BAH for July). The June Business Breakfast with GoPo Popcorn HAS BEEN MOVED TO A VIRTUAL NETWORKING BREAKFAST. If you registered online and paid your $5 or chose invoice, we can refund those funds to you or we hold on account for you until the next inperson Breakfast. Please email Justis with your decision.
If you have had to cancel your Business After Hours or Business Breakfast due to the current pandemic, we are offering a first right of refusal for all businesses for next year. You will be able to reserve the SAME month you have previously reserved for 2021. Please send Justis an email if you wish to reserve for next year.
We want to thank the businesses that are attending our Zoom meetings. We appreciate the comments, concerns, and ideas from our members on what we can provide and what you all need from the Chamber and our team.
Don't forget that on we have moved our weekly
Callaway County Community Update
to a monthly occurrence. Thank you City of Fulton Mayor, Lowe Cannell; Village of Kingdom City Manager, Curt Warfield; Callaway County Presiding Commissioner, Gary Jungermann; and City of Holts Summit City Administrator, Hanna Lechner for being present each week to give updates to our members. We will resume the monthly update on
June 9th at 9AM
. During the Zoom meeting, an announcement will be made regarding Callaway County COVID-19 relief funding. Please note, only those who register for the event will receive the link to attend as space is limited on the Zoom call. Please email Shane at businessrelations@callawaychamber.net to register for the event.
Leadership Callaway applications are now being accepted now through July 10th. They are not on our website currently as we are creating the new site, however, they will be included there once the site publishes this summer. If anyone interested in completing the prestigious program for yourself or enroll an employee, please email Justis for a copy of the application. Information sheet for the program is located below with a video created by LCC alumi to detail the program.
Additionally, we will be launching an updated version of the Community Calendar NEXT Thursday in the newsletter. If there is something you want included on the calendar, you must give that information to Justis. She will try to monitor community events as they change and update the dates, however, to avoid being missed, please email those to her directly. If your events have changed or you are planning new events, those can all be added to the calendar. You can also add you events to the calendar for your business yourself through your online account through our website. If you are not familiar with how to do this, check out our latest webinar on Perks of Your Membership. To go right to that section in the video, go to 1:00hr and play from there.
Best Regards,
Tamara Tateosian, Executive Director
