Two Ribbon Cuttings Scheduled for This Week
The Chamber Ambassadors will cut ribbons at two locations this week. On Tuesday at 9:30 a.m., Roaring Spring Water, located at 740 Spang Street in Roaring Spring, will debut a newly renovated building that features a complete line of new products. On Thursday at 11:30 a.m., Groove Fitness Studio will show-off its operation at 505 East 25th Avenue in Altoona.
Deadline is Friday for Leadership Blair County Applications
The deadline is June 30th for anyone intending to apply for the Chamber’s Leadership Blair County Adult program. Applications are available on the Chamber Website at www.blairchamber.com.
No Breakfast Club or Blair Business Mirror During July
Just a reminder that the Chamber traditionally doesn’t hold a Breakfast Club during July. The next Breakfast Club is scheduled for August 10th. For the first time since it began publishing in 1999, the Blair Business Mirror is also taking July off. The next edition will hit the streets on August 8th.
Farm-City Committee to Hold 2nd Annual “Give-Back Day”
For the second consecutive year, the Farm City Committee of the Blair County Chamber will hold a “Give-Back Day” that will take place on July 28th at Ritchey’s Dairy in Martinsburg. Single scoop ice cream cones will be available all day for just one dollar. Allied Milk Producers will again be partnering with the Chamber. Ritchey’s will donate the $1 per cone as well as 25% of all sales that day to provide milk for the American Rescue Workers, Inc. For further information on this promotion, contact Stacy Hoover at (814) 943-8151 or email her at shoover@blairchamber.com.
Sign-Up Period Continues for Chamber Trip to China
The Chamber will travel to China from April 20-28, 2018 with Citslinc, the company that has offered trips through chambers of commerce since 1995. Last year more than 20,000 people traveled to China on trips sponsored by chambers in the United States and Canada. The trip features stays in Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou and Hangzhou – all in 4 and 5 star hotels. It includes three meals a day, deluxe bus tours, fluent English-speaking tour guides and entrance fees for all attractions. The price of $2,299/person includes bus transportation to and from Dulles Airport, roundtrip flight on either Air China or China Eastern Airlines, all accommodations and all meals. The Chamber held an informational meeting about the trip on May 10th and will hold an additional meeting in the Fall. Anyone interested in acquiring information or registering for the trip should contact the Chamber at (814) 943-8151.
Application Process Underway for Young Entrepreneurs Academy
Applications are now being accepted for the second class of the Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!) program. The program will begin in late October. To apply, visit the Chamber Website at www.blairchamber.com.
Congratulations . . .
