Lots going on in Altus!❤️

It was a great week at the Chamber! We welcomed new members, had a ribbon cutting ceremony, and welcomed our new intern, Khloe!

Angela attended Rotary and was elected as a board member of the Jackson Co. Jr. Livestock Show, Jenny attended P-4 and the Military Affairs Committee quarterly meeting, and Brooke attended Kiwanis and took our new intern, Khloe with her. We checked in on members, promoted local businesses, and met candidates running for statewide elections.

Next week, we meet with Shortgrass Arts and Humanities Council, Main Street Altus, and The Committee of 100. We will also meet with Altus Parks and Recreation to start planning for this year’s annual Christmas parade, we have several ribbon cutting ceremonies, and we will co-host our second Legislative Luncheon of the year with the Kiwanis Club.

We are SO grateful for the support of our members and for the many dedicated individuals who pour their time into the civic organizations of our community. Oh yea, and one more thing…we LOVE Altus!❤️
