Did you love our new Christmas tree??? It was possible thanks to donations from people like you!
Although we haven't yet met our goal to cover the entire cost, the Chamber covered the remaining amount so we could all enjoy a well-deserved new tree!
We could really use your help to cover the cost. If you would like to contribute, you can name your price: donations can easily be made online (below). If you prefer to pay by phone or check, please contact our office. Many thanks those who have already contributed!
$1,000+ sponsors will be listed on a plaque that will be hung at the tree every year (and on display at the Chamber office the rest of the year).
