Member Plaques - Is yours up to date?

Picture
Each year, members receive an updated year plate for their Membership Plaque after paying their annual dues.  Over the years, the plaque itself has changed. 

Do you have a classic?  As trendy as that vintage look is, we would love to get you an update plaque with our current logo! 

If you need a current plaque,
​please call the office at 636-239-2715 or e-mail us! 

**If you have a different plaque than any of the ones shown, we definitely need a picture - tag us on social media or e-mail it to us!


Thanks for proudly showing off your Chamber Membership
​to all who visit your business!

Member Luncheon Recap

10/4/2022

 
On Monday, October 3,  just over 200 people gathered at the annual Member Luncheon to recognize the Outstanding Young Professionals Class of 2022.  The event was held at the KC Hall in Washington.  Tables were decorated with centerpieces provided by Hillermann Nursery & Florist and advance copies of the OYP special section from The Missourian.  Everyone enjoyed a delicious meal from the Knights of Columbus Auxiliary and time to network and mingle before the awards program.
Thank you to everyone that attended our event, and a special thanks to our sponsors (listed below), and to the businesses and individuals that made nominations for our awards!  Our next membership event will be the Winter Mixer on Thursday, December 8.  We also have three community events coming up:  Music at the Market (Oct. 13), Pumpkin Palooza (Oct. 29), and Olde Fashioned Christmas (Nov. 27).
