We are thrilled to announce the listing of our historic Strawbridge building, which has been our home since 1973. The Chamber is currently exploring different options to relocate to a new property to call home and will be working closely with Cassandra Hartford, Owner of Reach Commercial Real Estate to ensure a smooth transition. The Chamber will continue to operate out of the Strawbridge building until a new property is secured. To read more about this process click here. 

We are excited to announce that Hero Appreciation Week will return June 20th to June 23rd, and we invite you to participate! This week-long celebration is dedicated to recognizing the everyday heroes who make a significant contribution to the growth, development, and betterment of our community.

We want to hear from you! Who is your hero? Is it a neighbor who volunteers at the local food bank? A first responder who puts their life on the line every day? A teacher who goes above and beyond to inspire their students? Whoever it may be, we want to honor them during Hero Appreciation Week. Please share your hero by clicking here,

This is our chance to show our appreciation for those who make a difference in our community. It's important to recognize their dedication and service and let them know that their efforts are noticed and appreciated. By celebrating our heroes, we hope to inspire connections and foster pride among our hometown heroes and the local community.

All heroes and the community are invited to join us for a celebratory breakfast reception on June 23rd. More details to follow.
