Washington Chamber of Commerce

Washington Chamber of Commerce Washington, Iowa Chamber of Commerce: Community & Business Development Over 75% of the Chamber membership comprises small businesses.

The Washington Area Chamber of Commerce is a private, non-profit voluntary organization of and for the Washington business community. It unites hundreds of business and professional firms, creating a unified voice working to improve business and build a better community. It is those myriad of small businesses that make up the backbone of our community, prospering and creating a healthy, positive e

nvironment for conducting business. Above all, the Washington Area Chamber of Commerce is people -- people who understand that through the Chamber they can accomplish collectively what none of them can do individually. The strength of the Chamber lies in attracting the greatest possible number of members from the community, creating a pool of resources from which ideas, energy and finances can be drawn. The Chamber's members elect a Board of Directors, which in turn develops a business plan for each year -- a list of goals and objectives for the betterment of the community. The business plan is accomplished through a strong committee system, the committees and task forces made up of Chamber members. In the Washington Chamber, except for two professional staff, all positions are volunteer.

STARTS TOMORROW!

Washington Community Theater Presents: Meet Me in St Louis๏ปฟ



Based on the heartwarming MGM film, Meet Me In St. Louis is a rare treasure in the musical theatre: a wholesome and enchanting portrait of a turn-of-the-century American family.

It is the summer of 1903, and everyone in the Smith family eagerly anticipates the opening of the 1904 Worldโ€™s Fair. Over the course of a year, the family's mutual respect, tempered with good-natured humor, helps them through romance, opportunity, and heartbreaks. The musical includes seven of the best-loved songs from the film, plus ten additional Martin and Blane songs written specially for the stage. Memorable musical numbers include "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," "The Boy Next Door," "The Trolley Song," and "Whenever Iโ€™m with You."
