Locally, Mayor Don Still will issue a proclamation declaring October 12th through 18th as
Chamber of Commerce Week in Hope, Arkansas.

“We have a full week planned, including the Chamber Week Proclamation, special Facebook
posts, and a community coffee hosted by the Ambassadors. We certainly appreciate our
community supporting the local chamber—our Chamber members are the reason we celebrate,”

Support Your Local Chamber of Commerce Day, making it a perfect opportunity to show
appreciation for local businesses and organizations.
