For Chamber Member Businesses: “Let’s Go Live” is an excellent opportunity to spotlight your business and your work team.   The chamber comes to YOU.  We provide the opportunity via the chamber Facebook page to go “live” and share any business information you choose to share.   No cost!  Chamber Member Benefit!
 

Seeking nominations for Chamber Awards:  Citizen, Educator, Business, and Nonprofit of the Year!  Nomination forms may be picked up at the chamber.  You may also download the forms from the Hope Chamber or SWARK. Today Facebook pages. The deadline for submission is April 2, 2021. 

  

It is time to Refresh the Red!  As soon as COVID-19 hit our community, the chamber called on businesses to display red ribbons as a sign of unity & strength.  Many businesses and individuals stepped up in creative ways to display their bright red ribbons.  Our ribbons need to be refreshed, so we are asking (again) that you refresh your red ribbons for all to see.  We hope to remove the ribbons “collectively” one day this year.
   

Due to COVID restrictions, the Chamber Community Coffees are now Drive-Thru Coffees.  If you would like to host a Chamber Drive-Thru Community Coffee, please call the chamber and get on our Coffee Calendar.   Two upcoming coffees: Garrett Memorial Christian School - Wednesday, April 7 from 9:30-11:00 and Hope Public School District will host a coffee at The HUB for the Farmers Market Kickoff on Tuesday, May 4, 2021, from 9:30-11:00. 

Thanks to the Hope ConneXion, the chamber now has a Blessin’ Box in front of our office (201 S Main).  The box is filled by the community for those in need.  As the sign says, “Have a Blessin? Leave it.  Need a Blessin’? Take It. Above all, be BLESSED!”

Thanks to Katy Ella Webster, the chamber has a CommUNITY Book Share “Little Free Library” outside the office.  Please select a book or two.  If you have books to share, we ask that the content be clean in nature.  Books for all ages are available!
