Dear members,
We hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend!
The Chamber is excited to be celebrating its 95th Anniversary this year! Our annual celebration will be held on Friday, July 15, 2022 at the new FOR Center. Nominations are open for the annual business awards. Nominate here!
The County is also celebrating this year - its bicentennial! If you would like to preorder the history book "Calloway County, Kentucky: Celebrating the First 200 Years 1822-2022" click here.
The Chamber will host its Second Annual LIFT program for teachers! This was such a successful program that we have had multiple communities reach out to us about how to start their own! We couldn't do it without the support of our school systems and business community. We need sponsors to allow 10 participants. See flyer below!
Want to know how your Chamber membership may be able to save money for your small business? Check out the information about Chamber Advantage and ClearPath. Two opportunities to save on insurance and workers' comp by still using local agencies.
Have a great week and THANK YOU for your continued support of our organization.

Last week, Leadership Murray participated in their final session of the program. For their class project, they raised over $16k for CASA to complete a playground. Pictured above is their recent "workday" accompanied by the MSU Football team who helped the class assemble, build and landscape. This will provide CASA with a great environment for their clients to have safe, family visits. You can see the formal invitation below for the check presentation and open house this week, April 20th at 11am. Next month, they will graduate the program. We are so proud of this class! |

We had the privilege of celebrating 45 years of community theatre and toured the new Playhouse in the Park Annex. Playhouse in the Park is one of the oldest community theatres in the country. In addition to their numerous performances, they have expanded their educational services, sponsor the Box of Frogs Youth Theatre Group, hold classes for the community, and host an annual Summer Theatre Camp to name a few. We are thankful to have their organization in our community. Congratulations! |
