With 2017 coming to a close, the Wells Area Chamber of Commerce is looking toward the new year and is seeking additional volunteers from the Wells area businesses to serve as board members, according to a press release.

Qualified candidates are those who are currently employed by a Chamber business member or any individuals who are associate members of the WACC.

Board members collaboratively plan and execute community events that occur throughout the year.

The Wells Area Chamber of Commerce sponsors a number of events, including Summer in the City, the United South Central community picnic, farmers market, Chamber Bucks, support staff luncheon and Kernel Days, which is co-sponsored with Wells Area Jaycees. Some of the chamber’s most popular annual events are right around the corner — including downtown trick-or-treating on Halloween, Vegas Night on Friday and Wells Does it Bright on Nov. 17.

It is the goal of the WACC to continually support and work to improve the community’s overall well-being, which in turn makes Wells both a great place to live and work, according to the release.

Those who would like to learn more about the Chamber and its upcoming events can visit www.wellsareachamber.com or follow the Chamber on Facebook.

WACC President Amber Cords of Johnson Seeds or Vice President Beth Anderson  of Peoples State Bank of Wells welcome any inquires and questions related to the WACC, as well.
