Your Chamber @ Work

Thank you to everyone that contributed to the very successful parade last weekend. We appreciate the incredible floats and entries. It was amazing seeing all the floats lined up. The time and investment made is a huge bonus to our region. It was a beautiful parade. Thank you! 


We will host the Lt Governor tomorrow for breakfast at Shangri-La. Our team is excited to introduce our new website that will launch in 2025. We will also be recognizing some members for their contributions to our program of work in 2024. 


We are excited for 2025. We appreciate all the support for our organization.  


Have a very Merry Christmas!
