Updated Chamber Events
How is your business responding?
The Southport-Oak Island Area Chamber of Commerce values its members health and safety. The sooner we reduce the potential strain on the healthcare system from COVID-19 the sooner we can resume business as usual.
As such, we have cancelled the following meetings.

3/17 - Coffee with the Girls @ CresCom Bank

3/17 - Business Connections

3/18 - NC 4th of July Festival Committee/Board Meeting (conference call only)

3/20 Ribbon Cutting Ceremony @ Southport Ace Hardware
(They are open & will rescheduled Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to May 15th)

3/20 - Ambassador Committee Meeting

3/24 - Business Connections

3/24 - Business Networking After Hours @ Moore Street Market

3/25 - US Open King Mackerel Tournament Board Meeting

3/26 - Tourism Committee Meeting

3/31 - Business Connections

4/1 - Education Committee Committee

We will review April's schedule at a later date.
The economic hardship on our business community from the COVID-19 is real as events are cancelled and normal purchasing habits are disrupted. It may be longer than the 2-3 weeks originally thought as the CDC is now recommending cancellation/postpone events of 50 people or more for the next 8 weeks.
