MESSAGE FROM YOUR MANAGING CONSULTANT..

Spring has finally arrived, and we look forward to Easter! Please remember to shop local for your Easter needs!

Our website has been redesigned and shows some local retail opportunities in the way of real estate listings on the web. Take a look at www.chiltonchamberonline.com.

I think you’ll be impressed. We want to thank Brittani for her work on the new website.

It’s not too early to become a Peach Jam sponsor. We always need additional volunteers! Contact the Chamber for more information.

We have great speakers lined up for the next several luncheons. We hope you’ll join us on the 1st Tuesday of each month.
