Sponsor logo is printed on 10,000 tickets to be distributed to Chamber members and throughout the Perkiomen Valley region. Registration deadline has been extended to July 8th, but spots are limited.

Pennsylvania lifted its mask mandate on Monday. Yay! The Department of Health will no longer require unvaccinated people to wear masks in public, though it says businesses, health care facilities, other places may still require them.
Different facilities may have different guidance – you should always check with the facility if you are uncertain of current guidance for masking and other COVID-19 disease control measures.
In case you missed it, we welcomed two new members last week! 1st Colonial Community Bank, a service oriented community bank supported by a concierge banking model, where they "Bring the Bank to You". For more information contact Isaac Pedroza at 610-226-3000, or visit www.1stcolonial.com. We also extend a warm welcome to Kimberly Lesher- Lattanzi, Long and Foster Realtor.

On March 9, 2021, a coalition of 9 Chambers of Commerce sent a letter to Governor Wolf and Secretary of Health Allison Beam to express concern over vaccine distribution inequity and to call on the Administration to coordinate more effectively with our County governments.
On June 17, 2020, a coalition of 80 Chambers of Commerce sent a letter to Federal and State Lawmakers to support temporary, targeted legal safe harbor protection for employers and healthcare communities operating in good faith and complying with relevant requirements.
An open letter to state lawmakers expressed the deep concern Chamber leaders feel with both the pace and process of reopening businesses in the SE PA region. The letter, sent on May 28, 2020 was singed by 24 Chamber leaders, including myself.

Read the letter here.
