Food & Beverage
– we reconnected with the community, hosted virtual happy hours, and hosted antibody testing outside. We fed hundreds of people and were able to help pay the rent via the Payroll Protection Plan. To supplement this, we came up with what we call a Recovery Box, which we sold for $150. It included a gift card, a 190-year commemorative pin, and exclusive
face mask.
What’s next?
I am continuously looking for a sustainable way to ensure we get to our 200th anniversary. My dream is
for a foundation to purchase our building so that we’ll never again be threatened with closure after our 10-year lease is up. In addition, we are planning a street naming on October 2nd to Neir’s Tavern Way, and we’d love the Chamber to be there to be part of that momentous day!
