We are an action organization designed to meet our community's needs. We work together to promote our local businesses and the community through membership and events.
We are NOT affiliated with the City or County government whatsoever. We have over 45 members that are businesses and individuals, and we all work together to achieve the goals of our community. Our income is from membership dues, fundraising, events, & donations.
In 2013, we organized 8 different events and sponsored three different projects, including improvements to Lake Casador Park.
We truly try our hardest to make a difference in a community that often goes unnoticed. One of our constant goals is to bring visitors to town and introduce them to our town and the wonderful people in it.
If you would like to join us in making a difference, please contact us, we would love to have you!
Joining the Chamber
Individual and/or family memberships are an integral part of the Chamber. Come join the Chamber, get involved, and have fun. This is your Chamber of Commerce. Our mission is to add value to an inclusive and progressive business community and to promote an environment suited for a healthy quality of life. We want to make membership in the Chamber an enjoyable experience for you, and one that helps to increase the profitability of your business through networking and exposure. Chamber membership has many benefits, and we like you to take advantage of as many of them as possible. Our membership fees start at only $20 per year!
Board Members
The Board Members, for the Chamber, are a volunteer group representing businesses, families, or an individual. Along with attending lunch meetings to discuss sponsorships and planning for upcoming events, board members also help with mailing documents for the chamber. If you would be interested in serving on our board, please contact one of our current board members.
Committees
Committees offer Chamber members (and NON-members) of the community an opportunity to be involved in event planning. Comprised of board members, general membership, and community members, committees are formed to organize large events. Serving on a committee is a great way to become involved. The President of the chamber appoints committee leaders, and each leader reports to the president at each meeting. The committee leader is responsible for assigning job duties to each member of the committee, however, each committee member is encouraged to pick jobs they would like to do.
Luncheons
Sponsoring a luncheon would be a great way to showcase your business and network with other businesses and the general membership. We have never had a business host a luncheon, but other communities do this and have a lot of participation. You are welcome to host a luncheon anytime, with the chamber's assistance. Please let us know if you're interested in doing this.
