The ag scholarship golf tournament is tomorrow at the Clinton Country Club.  The ag committee of the Clinton Chamber holds this event each year to raise funds so they can give away scholarships to students each year.  These students are pursuing some sort of ag-related degree.

It’s now time to get back to a program I love to do, “Featured with David Lee”.  I can interview an owner, manager, etc. of a business or take pictures of a business.  These go on our Facebook page and are brought to the top once a week for a month.  I had to pause these videos and photos during June due to working just about full time on Olde Glory Days, but I am looking forward to once again getting out and about and visiting our Chamber members. 

Breakfast with the Grinch.  Sat., July 22nd from 8am till 3pm at the Clinton Sr. Center, 970 East Sedalia Ave.  Grab a selfie with the Grinch form 8 till 10am.  Adults, $10…Kids under 11, $5.  Scrambled eggs, sausage and pancakes during this Christmas in July event.  Rummage sale open to the public from 8 till 3.  Proceeds benefit programs for older adults in Clinton.

Here’s a note to our Chamber Members and anyone and everyone looking for employment;  The Chamber of Commerce continues to receive calls…people come in…and email us about jobs that might be available in and around Clinton.  When we see our Chamber Members post information about job openings, we do share that to our Facebook page. However, we’re pretty sure we don’t catch all of those job opening posts.    Please remember that YOUR Chamber is here for YOU. If you (a Clinton Chamber of Commerce Member) have any job openings that you are posting or if you want us to post it for you on our page, just let us know. Let us help you find employees!    Send your job openings to: david@clintonmo.com or joyce@clintonmo.com.  If you are not a Chamber member, we can still post your openings on our Facebook page for $25.00.  If you have any questions at all, email us or call 660-885-8166.

We have several committees here at the Clinton Chamber and volunteers are always welcomed.  Our committees include Academic Excellence, Agriculture, Ambassadors, Military Affairs, Olde Glory Days and Tourism.  If you would like to get involved in helping to move Clinton forward, just call, email, stop by or if you see me out and about…let’s visit!  

Don’t forget, if you’re a business owner and belong to the Chamber, be sure to update those Facebook pages so we can share your information on the Chamber’s Facebook page. Be sure to like us on Facebook: Greater Clinton Area Chamber of Commerce or check out www.clintonmo.com.
