We're delighted to extend a warm welcome to the newest organization in our Chamber family, The Center on Main! 🎉
The Center on Main is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating a gathering place where people unite around shared interests, build community, connect needs with resources, and experience love and transformation. The Center On Main's mission is to cultivate the potential of all people by nurturing creativity, collaboration, education and growth, empowering catalysts for change in local communities and the world. 🌍
"...our mission and passion is to curate a beautiful gathering space focused on community, education, the arts, and personal flourishing.

Our deepest desire is to see The Center become a hub that connects people and brings them together, creating opportunities for the greater good. Whether it's a workshop, a game of chess or ping pong, a class, a meeting, a cafe work space for you and your laptop, or a cool spot for teenagers to hang out, this is a place for ALL. An open door and a blank canvas. A place where we can be there for each other...because together is better." ✨
