A Message from the Pierre Area Chamber of Commerce
|  | |
At this time of social distancing, it is imperative that the community stay educated and informed. It is also important to us that you know the Chamber is here for you, your family, business/organization and our community. We are available via phone, email and Facebook.
The South Dakota Department of Health has been keeping the public updated on guidelines and best practices through their website covid.sd.gov. You can also call the South Dakota Helpline center at 211 for free and confidential resources or text 'Notify pierrearea' to 313131 to opt-in to Chamber communications.
While most events have been cancelled or postponed to a later date, the Chamber will continue with our weekly What's Happening email with as much up-to-date information that we have, as well as include resource information to help everyone get through this difficult and uncertain time. We are all in this together. |

Feeding South Dakota - Mobile Food Pantry Distribution
| |
Mobile Food Pantries travel across South Dakota distributing free food to individuals and families in need. These distributions supplement the work of agency partner pantries, shelters and meal sites operating in fixed locations. The Mobile Food Pantry Program began in January of 2013 and is now serving 45 of the most underserved communities where individuals and families lack access to adequate and nutritious foods.
Each family receives approximately 30-70 pounds of fresh and frozen produce, dairy, meat, breads and other non-perishable food items. The type of food distributed varies depending on what is available at the current time.
Eligibility: Must bring a photo ID.

Eagle's Gallery Art Event to Honor WWII Heros
|
SD)-"The Eagles Gallery" featuring the aircraft flown by four highly decorated South Dakota WWII veterans will be unveiled at a public ceremony held at the Pierre Regional Airport, Friday, October 16 at 4pm Central.
The four art pieces, created by South Dakotan artist, writer and filmmaker John Mollison, will honor the two South Dakotan "Doolittle Raiders," Distinguished Flying Cross recipient Harold Thune, father of Senator John Thune, and Navy Cross recipient, Curtis Cameron. The art will accompany the existing art honoring Battle of Midway hero, John Waldron.
The Pierre-Fort Pierre Rotary Club is sponsoring The Eagles Gallery. Club President, Ann Schwartz, stated "Rotary's motto is Service Above Self. The men whose airplanes and stories will be displayed in The Eagles Gallery embodied that motto and represent the extraordinary actions of South Dakotans who responded and continue to respond to the call of service. Our Club is proud to support this effort."
Pierre Airport Manager, Cameron Howard stated, "An especially interesting aspect of these stories is that they each have a connection to the Pierre/Fort Pierre area. When people go through the airport and take a quick look, they'll know of our community's amazing heritage."
Artist John Mollison believes in the power of history. "History is nutritious as it feeds our understanding of how we work. If we know our history, we can better guide our future. These airplanes represent moments that affect all of us in some way today."
The unveiling will begin at 4pm and feature a special gallery installment of Curtis Cameron's actual Navy Cross by the Cameron family. An additional aspect of the unveiling will be the inauguration of a multimedia display produced by the South Dakota Air and Space Museum designed to broaden the impact of South Dakota's contribution to the Doolittle Raid of April
18, 1942.
For information on the event, contact The Pierre-Fort Pierre Rotary Club via Larry Lyngstad, 605.280.3119 or John Mollison, [email protected], 605.261.6070.
