The Whitewater Area Chamber of Commerce has announced that it will be celebrating its 80th Anniversary in 2022.
According to information released by the chamber, the organization was incorporated in March of 1942 and is dedicated to helping Whitewater area businesses and the community thrive.
Adhering to COVID-19 precautions, after two years of postponed, canceled and abbreviated events and activities, the chamber is poised to make 2022 a year of celebration and community, the release stated.
This month, the chamber will kick off a year of celebration with “Conversations and Cocoa,” which will be held Monday, Jan. 31.
According to the release, the chamber is inviting its partners, local business owners and staff, and area residents to stop into the Discover Whitewater offices in downtown Whitewater, 150 W. Main St., between 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. to participate in “a mid-winter break and chat” about the community.
Event-goers are invited to participate in the chamber’s “Love Local” February campaign by filling out a love letter heart for their favorite local business or organization. The chamber will deliver the “love letters” on Valentine’s Day.
In April, the chamber will be hosting its annual Awards and Celebration Dinner, at which time the organization will be commemorating 80 years of service to businesses and the community.
Current, former and prospective chamber members are encouraged to attend and help celebrate this milestone anniversary. The chamber would also like to invite the community to share any photos, documents or mementos community members might have regarding the chamber’s activities over the past eight decades for a timeline project. Items can be dropped off at the Discover Whitewater offices or emailed to info@whitewaterchamber.com, the release continued.
Registration is required for the dinner. More information will soon be available on the chamber’s website. Seating is limited and chamber members will be given first priority. Those interested in attending are encouraged to watch the chamber’s website and make reservations early to ensure seating. Arrangements for the dinner are underway and ticket information will soon become available on the chamber’s website, Executive Director Kellie Carper recently noted.
