What a night!
Thank you to everyone who came to our event, Stronger Together: A Night for Jeff Ciarlo! It was a wonderful evening full of love and generosity. We had a lovely display of items and information from Chamber members, nearly 60 raffle baskets, delicious food from Chamber restaurants (Aurelio’s, Smokey Jo’s, and Main Street Pizza Pub & Grill), and entertainment by Sammy Listro.

Thanks to everyone’s generosity, we were able to raise $6,000 from raffles, 50/50 and donations. To add to that, Vintage Oak is generously donating a portion of their sales from last night.

We are so grateful and proud of our community!

At our May Chamber meeting, Surf Internet held their ribbon cutting! Since they don’t have a physical location here in Crete, we were happy to do it at our meeting with our members!

Congratulations, Surf Internet! Welcome to Crete!

The Crete Area Chamber of Commerce has brought back our scholarship program! These scholarships are another perk of being a Chamber member, as they are reserved for Chamber members, immediate family of Chamber members and employees of Chamber members. This year, we were able to give 3 - $1,000 and 1 - $500 scholarships.

Congratulations to our 4 winners for 2026!
