Chamber news
Current MCC Projects

LED Sign: We are VERY excited to announce that the Chamber will have it's very own LED sign installed in the upcoming month.  It will be located near the Manteno McDonald's.  On this sign, we will post Chamber and Village announcements of upcoming events and any exciting Chamber news.  We hope that this will keep the community informed on all the things the Chamber is doing. 

 

Golf Cart: This summer, you might see a top of the line EZGO golf cart buzzing around with the Manteno Chamber logo!   We joined forces with Stevenson Auto Sales and will be selling raffle tickets to the community for a chance to win the cart.  The lucky winner will be chosen on Sunday, September 24th, the final day of Oktoberfest.  Make sure to get your ticket! They are: 1=$20, 3 for $40, or 7 for $100.   Contact Sarah!

 

 

Ambassador's Signature Event: Our ambassadors are our spokespeople for our Chamber.  They have been working on creating a first ever Ambassador's event for the community: The Thrill of the Hunt: Adult Scavenger Fun.  This will be held Saturday, April 29th from 3pm-5pm.  We are in need of sponsors and giveaways for swag bags.  Please contact Becky Williamson. This will be an event not to miss!
