Why Join?
The Cut Bank Area Chamber of Commerce believes there are many good reasons why you should join the Chamber. To you prospective or former members, we hope you take a moment to find out why we think belonging to your local Chamber is not only a good idea, but a smart one, too!
First, your Chamber sponsors and or supports many community events all year long. The first few months of the new year we concentrate on our membership drive. In the past two years we have increased our membership dramatically and we’re hoping to hit 175 members strong this year!
In the spring we’re busy planning the annual Chamber banquet and offering our support to the Montana Storytelling Roundup. As summer approaches it’s time to gear up the Chamber’s Visitor Center and assist the Lewis and Clark Festival committee in sponsoring another successful three-day event.
August finds us welcoming the participants of the Montana Junior Miss Scholarship Program to town and hosting their week-long competition. We are also a sponsor of the annual Hi-Line Relay for Life event. There’s no winding down for us when autumn arrives–we’ve got the Festival of Lights Celebration and Parade to plan for! And that means, preparing thousands of Christmas lights to illuminate our town during the holiday season.
We are currently spearheading the drive to raise $24,000 to build a new wading pool to replace the one that has been closed the past two summers. With the help of community members and alumni, we’ve already raised over $19,000. In December we partnered with the Northern Rockies Medical Center Auxiliary for the 1st annual Festival of Trees and Keys. This event raised a total of $20,000 which was split by the auxiliary and the Chamber. The Chamber has earmarked these funds to purchase new decorations for the Christmas Lights project.
In between all those events, your Chamber board of directors and staff keeps busy with the day-to-day tasks of promoting Cut Bank, its businesses and services. When you are too busy to attend city, county and regional economic development meetings, we have representatives there, representing you. When inquiring minds from out-of-the area are seeking information on Cut Bank, we’re here to respond to their e-mails, letters and phone calls. For many, the Cut Bank Area Chamber of Commerce is their first impression of Cut Bank and we strive to make it a positive one.
Montana Chamber Choices is a membership benefit, read more about Montana Chamber Choices.
The Chamber usually meets on the first and third Wednesdays of each month at noon in the Community Development Office at 4 North Central Avenue or at a larger venue when we are hosting guest speakers at our “Lunch ‘n’ Learn” program. We hope to see you there!
