Harker Heights Chamber Monthly Newsletter

It surely has been a very busy and exciting month for us at the Harker Heights Chamber. Our Golf Tournament has been falling into place and it’s going to be a great day on Saturday the 29th at Clear Creek Golf Course. Thanks for all of the help that our Ambassadors, Staff and Volunteers did to make this a great event. Vision XXI is going forward and the class continues to have a greater vision of what a leader does in their local communities. Quality of life is the backbone in all our local cities and allows us the opportunity to continue to help us grow. Thanks to the team leading Vision XXI. Chamber members receive a substantial return on their membership investment through value added services and effective representation by a wide variety of Central Texas organizations. The active involvements of our Chamber Committees have taken new strides to expand the horizon of our businesses and the citizens of the Community. This is done through our monthly Chamber Mixers, Coffee Connections, various workshops and Military Affairs to name just a few. The entire Chamber staff and leadership takes pride in their work to ensure that the City of Harker Heights

remains “right in the middle of where you want to be!” For more information on how to get involved with the Chamber, contact the Chamber office at 254-699-7588 or www.hhchamber.com. As always, we thank you for your continued support of the Harker Heights Chamber of Commerce.

Best to All,
