The Olivia Chamber of Commerce had a fun and eventful summer filled with exciting opportunities, meaningful connections, and community celebration! One of the highlights was hosting a Lunch and Learn with Vivid Image on the topic of AI in Action. This informative session provided attendees with valuable insights into how artificial intelligence is shaping the future—and how we can begin integrating AI tools into our own work and businesses. It was an eye-opening experience that left everyone feeling more confident and equipped to embrace the future of technology.
Another major summer highlight was our Annual Golf Tournament and Social, proudly sponsored by HomeTown Bank. This event serves as one of our biggest fundraisers of the year and a cherished tradition for Chamber Members. It’s a day dedicated to fun, networking, and community connection—complete with golfing, food, drinks, socializing, and a celebratory banquet. During the banquet, we proudly honored outstanding individuals and businesses with awards including Community Leadership, Business of the Year, and Lifetime Achievement.
We would love to give a huge shoutout and heartfelt thank-you to HomeTown Bank for their unwavering support. They went above and beyond as our event sponsor—bringing fun games, exciting prizes, giveaways, and a contagious energy that truly elevated the day. Their support didn’t stop at sponsorship; their team’s presence, enthusiasm, and participation helped make the event memorable for everyone involved. The Olivia Chamber of Commerce is deeply grateful for HomeTown Bank’s outstanding partnership and dedication. Their continued investment in the Chamber’s mission and in our community is invaluable, and we are so fortunate to have them as a key partner. The Chamber would also like to extend a sincere thank-you to all of our members for their participation in the Annual Golf Tournament and Social. The day happens because of you and for you—and your involvement is what makes it such a success year after year. We appreciate your support, energy, and commitment to making the Chamber community strong, connected, and thriving.
We closed out the summer on a high note with a Chamber Mixer hosted by FM BANK in Olivia. These mixers are essential for fostering deeper relationships among Chamber Members. They offer a relaxed atmosphere where members can connect on a more personal level, network with peers, and enjoy good conversation over food and drinks. Events like this help strengthen our business community and remind us of the value of coming together—not just as professionals, but as neighbors and friends.
