Good day members, supporters and friends!
With all of our meetings behind us for the year, let's turn our focus on our Community Spirit!

The Australia Day Nominations are just so important, and because of the Christmas/New Year breaks and also the busyness of the season, are often put off and not given their due attention!

So, please give this a few moments of your time, download the flyer and do your bit for the Community for 2010!

Lachlan White Fundraiser
Retiring President, Alan Wetton, in his final comments, spoke of a little boy, Lachlan White. He spoke of Lachlan's health problems and the need the family has for support to address suitable care/therapy arrangements for their son.

The Maryborough Chamber of Commerce is throwing its weight behind a fundraising bid for the White Family. Help can be offered in practical physical help, supply of materials or monetary ways. Details on fundraiser!

Executive Board
New officers were elected at the Annual General Meeting. Meet the Board .... here!

About the Chamber
Founded in 1879 by some forward-thinking business people, the Maryborough Chamber of Commerce is now an incorporated not-for-profit organisation. Our members include retailers, manufacturers, educators, medical practitioners, hoteliers and welfare providers, just to name a few.

Our Executive Board consists of 12 volunteer members who are elected to office each year by the full membership.
