From the Chamber Office

Welcome to spring! What?? Where is it? I guess these must be "spring showers" we're experiencing.

With April 1 first comes renewal of our chamber membership, and you all should be receiving your invoice within a week if you haven't already. We greatly appreciate your ongoing support of YOUR chamber.

Did you attend our mixer last Thursday at Oakhurst Grill & Whiskey 41 Bar? If you didn't, you missed a great time. They went all out to provide a lovely pre-St. Patrick's Day theme and outstanding cuisine. Thank you to Shane, Sandee and your staff for being so welcoming.

Victoria and I are working to get our chamber calendar (not limited to chamber events) up and running. It has been moribund for a couple of years, and that is changing NOW. You can rearch our events calendar here. Chamber members, please submit your events.

Sign up now for our special event, "How Safe Are You," with Sheriff Tyson Pogue and staff. Info on the event is below. It's free to chamber members and only $5 per person for non-members. Test your current safety skills and add new ones to your repertoire.

Welcome, Victoria Bills!

I’m beyond pleased to introduce you to Victoria Bills.

Victoria started work at OACC on March 14, 2023, after being snowed in for two weeks after her planned start date. She is also a Chamber Administrator and will be learning to handle basically the same duties as I.

For the immediate future, Victoria and I will share the same days and hours, but we're looking forward to expanding our hours once she's more familiar with the chamber and its procedures

For the immediate future, Victoria and I will share the same days and hours, but we're looking forward to expanding our hours once she's more familiar with the chamber and its procedures, with an ultimate goal of being available to members five days a week in the near future.
