Atascadero Chamber celebrates 100 years with special events in April
Centennial celebration happening April 10, gala slated for April 22
– The Atascadero Chamber of Commerce, which marks a century of service to the community this year, will be celebrating its 100th year with various events throughout 2023.
The community is invited to attend a celebration on April 10, the hundredth day of the year, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the chamber office. Cookies and cupcakes will be provided to guests who stop by for a visit.
“It’s a privilege to be the president and CEO of the Atascadero Chamber during its one-hundredth year,” said Josh Cross, adding “I’m gratified to carry on the tradition.”
Business owners who are not yet chamber members can benefit on April 10 as well. “If you are not a member, we invite you to join one of the strongest Chamber organizations in the county,” Julie Matthews, director of membership, said, “On April 10, those members who join will receive $100 off full annual membership investment. Celebrate with us.”
The theme of the chamber’s annual awards dinner and gala reflects its anniversary year: “Past, Present, and Forward” and that event will be held Saturday, April 22, at the Pavilion on the Lake in Atascadero. This event will honor extraordinary individuals who shape Atascadero.
“We are extremely honored to highlight such amazing individuals who truly have made an impact, and will continue to shape our community in the years to come,” said Cross.
The Community Impact Annual Award winners for 2022 are Mike Zappas, Citizen of the Year; North County Restaurant Group, Business of the Year; Kyla Skinner, Specs by Kyla, Women of Influence; Larry Wysong, Lifetime Achievement Award; and Lighthouse Atascadero, Community Organization of the Year.
“We will remain dedicated to serving our business community,” said Matthews.
