The Pontiac Chamber was so excited to have a table at the Tiny Martini Tasting Event held by SOCU-Pontiac Branch at Baby Bulls.
Freedom Isn’t Free Honoring Our Hometown Heroes
The Chamber is taking applications through August 9th. The parade will be held Sunday, September 1 in Downtown Pontiac at 1:15p. The theme is “Freedom isn’t Free-Honoring our Hometown Heroes” . This year we’ll be inviting all military, veterans, first responders including police, fire and EMTs to collectively serve as our Grand Marshall. Stop by our office at 210 N. Plum St. and pick up your application today!
Donation to the Boys & Girls Club
We have been hard at work at the Chamber the past couple of months with our golf outing and getting things ready for the Thresherman’s Parade.
We have squeezed in some cleaning time as well and were able to donate office supplies to the Boys & Girls Club of Livingston County.
Welcome To Pontiac Wally’s
The Chamber was happy to be a part of the groundbreaking ceremony for Wally’s, the vacation center, that is building in Pontiac. A lunch followed at the beautiful Eagle Theater. Wally’s hopes to be open in May of 2020 providing approximately 140 jobs to Pontiac.
