Chamber Connection
Advocating for the economic vitality of Hartselle: "We build community through business."
July 17, 2020
Saturday, July 11th

On Saturday, July 11th, approximately 500 volunteers gathered in Hartselle for the annual Serve Day. We completed service projects at 6 Hartselle City Schools, downtown Hartselle, Hartselle Police Department, The Burleson/Fine Arts Center, the Chamber, as well as, individual homes. We would like to thank our sponsors and volunteers for making this such a huge success and such a blessing to our community. Without each and everyone of you, this event wouldn't be possible. It continues to grow each year and we are grateful for that.

Ambassador Highlight

Sandy Johnson

What is your history in Hartselle?
My husband and I moved to Hartselle from Anaheim, California in February, 2005. About a month later, someone came by my home and welcomed me to Hartselle. She invited me to come and meet some of my neighbors, and I accepted. These people were members of a club known as The Newcomers Club. I really enjoyed it, and after a while, I was invited to join their Bunco group, and then we started a group playing Canasta. I eventually became an officer of the Newcomers Club for three years. Next, I was invited to join a Red Hat Group, and I love wearing purple and red. Some of the Newcomer members were Ambassadors of the Hartselle Area Chamber. They made it sound like so much fun to volunteer, so I did. I’ve been an Ambassador since 2007. I was Ambassador of the Year 2008-2009, 2012-2013 and the first to receive the English Walker Ambassador of the Year award 2017-2018. I was Secretary for the Ambassador’s from 2012-2018.
