Several of these events will be rescheduled, and the Chamber will honor reservations and paid sponsor promotion benefits on the rescheduled dates. Future events will be evaluated based on the recommendations of MDHHS.
In addition, the Chamber would like to invite any member or community organizations that are providing alleviation or respite services for those impacted by Coronavirus to let us know. We will post links to your services and share them with the community on the Chamber’s website.
