Chamber Chat

I want to thank Ponca City for being so generous with the Chamber’s Stuff the Bus with school supplies campaign. This was the best year we have ever had in collecting school supplies. We truly stuffed the bus! This chamber project will benefit many children in our public schools.

In the past teachers, the teacher’s family and friends would purchase school supplies for children that did not have them. This campaign takes a huge burden off our teachers. It is important that all students have what they need to start school. Stuff the Bus with school supplies allows this to happen. Again thank you Ponca City for being so generous.

Thank you to everyone that attended the Party at the Palace at the beautiful Marland Mansion. It was a lot of fun. We have a great chamber and I truly thank all of our members that allow us to do the work we do. It is incredible.

This week our Ambassador Committee will meet on Tuesday at 8 a.m., Finance Committee on Wednesday at 11 a.m., Executive Board on Wednesday at 11:30 a.m., Tourism Bureau Thursday at 9 a.m. and Ponca Politics Committee on Friday at 11 a.m. at City Hall. We could not do what we do without our amazing volunteers.
