A Word from the Executive Director
The lazy days of summer are behind us and now it’s time to SHOW UP! As we enter our busiest season of the year at the Chamber, we are confident that our preparations and planning will pay off for Autumn in Bonham, Halloween on the Square & the Boo Bash, and all our Christmas & holiday events. But we ALL must SHOW UP!
Show up for Tune-In Tuesdays, After-Hours Networks, Quarterly Lunch & Learns, and ribbon cuttings!
Show up for Autumn in Bonham as a vendor or a volunteer!
Show up for Halloween on the Square & the Boo Bash with candy or a game!
Show up for the annual Hot Cocoa Hop & Christmas Tree Lighting and sell holiday goodies to benefit for your favorite non-profit!
Show up (and show off!) at the Annual Holiday Parade and S’Mores Cook-Off!
Show up and enjoy the annual Holiday Wine Stroll & Taste of Bonham!
We appreciate our members and how active most of you are in all our events and activities, but we want MORE! We want to see new faces and familiar faces, and we want to encourage everyone to pull together, volunteer and SHOW UP FOR BONHAM!
- Sam
