Ada Area Chamber of Commerce members will get together via Zoom next week.

The chamber traditionally meets in person on the third Wednesday of each month in the Ada Public Library. But, that stopped in early spring due to the covid-19 pandemic. The chamber board began meeting in person in September also after a similar hiatus.

Earlier this week chamber members received a Zoom link to the meeting. Others in the community interested in attending the meeting via Zoom may contact Ada Icon at [email protected] for the link. The meet will take place at 8 a.m., Wednesday, Oct. 21, and is expected to last one hour.
