Your Chamber @ Work

"I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new." — Ralph Waldo Emerson


Happy Thanksgiving! Our team at the Grove Area Chamber of Commerce wishes you a

memorable time of celebration and thankfulness with family, friends, and neighbors. We are grateful for the partnerships and friendships we have with so many members, stakeholders, and community leaders. We hope you take some time this week and reflect on all the goodness around you as you celebrate the season of Thanksgiving.


Please join us on Friday, December 6th as we award a lucky shopper with $10,000 cash! We’ve had an exceptional response to the Shop Grand Lake Holiday Experience and look forward to celebrating with the winner. Thank you again to the sponsors and participating merchants that have invested in this holiday event. We know it will continue to grow and get better each year. Watch our Grove Area Chamber Facebook page for more information and updates for the Lights on Grove event.


As December approaches, it has almost been a full year since I joined the Grove Chamber of Commerce staff. I am grateful for the opportunity even more today as we wrap up an incredible year and prepare for 2025. I appreciate the warm welcome and support in year one.


Have a wonderful week,

~Amanda
