Dear members,
It has been an amazing year! Getting out of the whole COVID-19 mentality a was a challenge, not only for our Chamber but for our businesses as well. This year all our members supported so many community events, and without your support some of these events could not have taken place. So, thank you for all your support! We hope that providing you support helped promote your business in one way or another.
This year the Chamber was able to secure a new location, we have relocated since September. Since the move, we have been able to revitalize our chamber services to our members. By increasing partnerships with our local organizations there has been an increase in community events and activities. Here are a few of the events: •108th Annual Awards Ceremony (Recognizing our 2019 Awardees) Sunset Memorial Day Ceremony-Partnered with City of Lindsay Military Banner Program-Partnered with the City of Lindsay Police and Fire Pancake Fundraiser (Raised $8k+Partnership with former Mayor Ramona Caudillo and Council
Member Ramiro Serna) 1st Annual Pumpkin Carving Party-Partnered with Lindsay Wellness Center Harvest Festival-Partnered with Spirit and the Bride Coalition and McDermont X Door Decorating Contest (Awarding 1 business and 1 resident)-Partnered with Vida de Oro Foundation Closing the year with the Christmas Parade This year for 2023 we will be focusing on our Mission Statement, to assure a leadership role in improving the overall economic climate for members through the implementation of programs and services which stimulate business growth and enhance the quality of life in the Lindsay area. To continue to provide much needed services to our members we have decided to change our membership pricing. We are now offering tier levels to members. Each tier level will provide many different services. Membership funds goes towards ensuring that our Chamber continues to keep its location and provide the much-needed services to our members and community.
Here are some of the events, workshops, networking opportunities:
- 109th Annual Awards Ceremony- January 28th, 2023
- Fire Safety Workshop

There will be more updates throughout this year. We are excited about the changes that have been made this last year and we are hoping to continue to expand our Chamber services for our member. If you have any questions about the tier levels or events that you would like to sponsor, please do not hesitate to call the office, or stop by and check out our new location.
