Annual Canned Food Drive

Share in our Annual Canned Food Drive at our December 13th Monthly Luncheon in support of the Hope Center.  Thanks for your contributions.  Thank you to ALL of the outpouring of support from our members who brought Coats & Blankets for the Annual drive for the Hope Center at our November luncheon.

If you still want a chance to be a winner of $100 weekly winning for the last 5 games including Super Bowl, we still have 10 books in the chamber office – give a call to pick up your book before the Monday night game.  Join the fun, call and get one of the last books which helps support our annual scholarship fund.  This year we wanted to keep the book fun and interactive by adding a game to find Pigskin Pete and Ron Saylor was our winner and found all 12 Pigskin Pete’s throughout the book.  Congratulations Ron.  He enjoyed Lunch on the Chamber at the November Luncheon.

Spotlight- North High School’s Constellation

North High School’s Constellation is the premiere vocal jazz ensemble at North High School. Constellation regularly performs for the community including NOR Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, and Kiwanis, at Greenlawn memorial services, and at festivals including the Bakersfield College Chamber Festival and Fullerton Jazz Festival. This diverse group of students is challenged not just to be excellent musicians, but also as leaders and scholars throughout their tenure in the choir program. The North Star Choirs would like to thank their principal, Dr. Mark Balch, and superintendent, Dr. Bryon Schafer, for their continued support of choral music at North High School.”

NOR Chamber Recognition

Dear Terre,

 

Thank you for supporting the 2018 Oildale Trunk or Treat.

 

We are fortunate as a community to have dedicated citizens and organizations who step forward and assist in providing a fun and memorable experience for children. I am forever grateful for the generosity and willingness of our volunteers who take time out of their busy lives to selflessly serve our community.

 

Your participation has contributed to the overall success of the evening and I would like to personally thank you for making it the largest Trunk or Treat we have EVER had.

 

If I can ever be of assistance to you in the future, please do not hesitate to contact me.

 

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

 

Best regards,

 

Mike Maggard
