Chamber Members,
 
Adios summer and welcome to fall - still, a beautiful season here in Kodiak though a bit windy. A year and a half after the start of this pandemic, COVID-19 cases are at an all-time high here and in Alaska; please get vaccinated and mitigate your risk of infection so our lives can get back to normal.
 
Free masks! Walmart of Kodiak has graciously donated face masks to the City of Kodiak. If you would like masks for your business and/or customers, please contact the Chamber to schedule a time to pick the masks up or have them dropped off.
  
The 2022 Kodiak Relocation Guide, Photo Contest is open now through December 15th. We are looking to find Kodiak’s best images to be featured in the 2022 Kodiak Chamber of Commerce Relocation Guide. We will be giving away $1,000 in cash prizes. Submissions must reach the office by 5 PM on Wednesday, December 15th, 2021 to be considered. We know there are some amazing photos out there so now is the time to showcase them.
 
Yes, it's that time of year again! The Crab Fest Committee has selected the slogan “Let's Get Crackin” for the 2022 Kodiak Crab Festival. All submissions for the 2022 Crab Festival Logo and Poster Contest must reach the Chamber office by 5 PM, November 10th.
 
Kodiak College Virtual Business After Hours will be held on October 7th, from 5 PM – 6:30 PM. Learn more about Kodiak Colleges' past work, upcoming events, and its 2025 Strategic Plan (plus there will be giveaways!). Join us on Facebook Live or on Zoom.
 
The Chamber welcomes our newest members, SWMAC, Nichole Fisheries, LLC, and Chellissa Fisheries LLC. Welcome and thank you!
 
Another Chamber tradition, Downtown Trick or Treat, may or may not happen this year. Again, stay tuned.
 
Winter is coming….
