Chamber Update
September 16, 2026
The Owingsville/Bath County Chamber of Commerce held its regular monthly meeting today at Sherrie’s Pizza House, with 11 members present.
Treasurer’s report included a balance of $3583.85. Members discussed the renewal bill for the Chamber’s website through GoDaddy, which was over $600. Chamber President Cecil Lawson agreed to contact GoDaddy’s customer service.
In old business, we continued our discussion on writing up new bylaws and filing for incorporation; chamber promotion and branding, including a new logo; and creating a county business directory.
In new business, we agreed to have our next Chamber After Hours event at The Edge on October 6, a glamping getaway in Midland which just opened this year. We also agreed to have our next After Hours event at Sterling Health Care in Owingsville.
