A Message from GMPCC President Sandy Barton

Well, it appears that COVID has reared it’s ugly head in our community once again — but we are more blessed than others in differing areas because this community takes care of one another!

Please remember all the hard lessons we learned during 2020 and keep supporting one another, keep safe practices in the forefront of your mind, and keep patronizing our local businesses! They need you! We need you! So please be safe.

It is time for you to make your nominations for our Annual Business Awards! This is your chance to nominate either you, your business or a fellow business or business owner for one of our 3 major awards: the Business of the Year, the chamber Volunteer of the Year, or our pinnacle award – the Chairman’s Award. We sent everyone an email last Friday that provides a link, and describes the requirements for each award — if you did not receive it let me know and we will get it to you again ASAP. You have until 9/30/2021 to make your nominations! Nominate and complete the submission as many times as you wish! There is no limit! HERE is the LINK, as well!
Make your plans to join us at Fall Fest Market 2021 on Saturday, September 25, noon-4 p.m. Don’t miss out! Sponsorships are GONE! If you want a vendor spot, please make your reservations here. And soon! There is a $1 entry fee, but you can get in FREE by bringing some e-waste to recycle, or by bringing a can of corn, peas or sweet potatoes for Society of Samaritans’ Thanksgiving baskets! FREE pumpkins for the 150 kiddos, free face painting, free balloon artists, free pictures in the pumpkin patch with our live scarecrow! Bounce houses outside for the kiddos are free from the Rotary, and you have a chance to win a $100 gift card in our vendor Bingo game! Are you catching all the FREE stuff? You don’t want to miss it!
And we have begun receiving reservations and confirming sponsorships for our 2021 Magic of Christmas Christmas Parade of Lights, on Saturday, December 4, 2021, 5:30 p.m. Remember, we can only accept a total of 100 entries for our parade, so if you have an interest you may want to reserve your spot now by registering here.
Don’t forget all of our networking and learning opportunities. Please make plans to join us! We would love to see you. Check out the Chamber calendar.

Stay tuned to our Chamber website and social media for updates on everything happening in your Greater Magnolia Parkway Chamber! #MagnoliaStrong
