While cold and snowy, February was a busy month for the Malden Chamber of Commerce.
We made new connections with Chamber members from neighboring cities in our first Multi Chamber networking event of the year.

And, our most anticipated event of the year, the State of the City, was truly memorable. Thank you to Mayor Gary Christenson and his staff for making us all proud to live or work in Malden. Did you miss this event? Click here to watch the show.

The Downtown Banner Program is Back!
Like most things, Covid interrupted our Malden Center Banner Program. We are happy to say that the program is back and we are once again offering you the chance to sponsor one of the light pole banners in the heart of Malden. For a commitment of $500, your sponsored banner will hang for two years over the very active downtown. Confirm your participation by March 15th by emailing Joan Ford Mongeau.
