We hope you will consider supporting us this year through a Chamber membership.  And remember, it isn’t just for retail businesses!  We appreciate the support of service, agriculture and at-home businesses, as well as individual community members committed to helping us in our mission.  Download the membership application HERE!

We would also love to see you involved with our organization as a volunteer or committee member, so please get in touch if there’s something you’re passionate about!  We welcome your feedback and suggestions on how the Chamber can best meet the needs of commerce and agriculture in our community.  

So with that, we wish you a Happy New Year and a happier, healthier, more rainy year in 2022!
