CORRECTION: The library's Chocolate Bake Off is scheduled for February 18.

What's on your 2023 calendar?

The January breakfast meeting of the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce, held at the Ada Public Library, serves as a good preview of coming attractions in 2023 for the organization and the community.

Chamber president Becky Neville and director Lindsay Walden Hollar introduced themselves (as did all of those in attendance) and reviewed the chamber events scheduled for the year. Sprinkled into the calendar were events hosted by other organizations. Hollar commented, “My calendar is already full. The sooner we get the word out, the better.”

Hollar also noted that sometimes the chamber gets called about events organized by others–so it’s never too soon to provide the chamber with event dates and organizer contact information. Events shared during the meeting are:

February - The Mercantile on Main will be closed for a buying trip

February 11 - Free family movie at the Ada Theatre hosted by Beatitudes; stay tuned for details
