The Best of Art & Wine
Thank you for supporting YOUR Lafayette Chamber!
The Chamber hosted two spectacular nights of art, wine and music at the Creekside Commons on Nov. 4 and 5. We are most appreciative of the tremendous community effort to help the Lafayette Chamber, our services, programs and beneficiary efforts. This gave special meaning to It Takes A Village.
We are humbled by YOUR outpouring of support. From the guests who joined us in person or offered their services to those who generously volunteered or sent donations – all of your efforts were most appreciated and will help us continue to meet our goals.
The Chamber is 74 years strong and our mission continues “To promote and maintain a healthy business climate and to preserve and enhance the quality of life in Lafayette.” All aspects that make up a community are important to us: schools, residents, churches and synagogues, community organizations, activities, and the city government. Chamber members work with representatives of all these groups for the betterment of our community. We proudly serve 620+ members including 80 non-profits!
