Manhattan Chamber of Commerce holds 96th annual meeting
The 96th annual Manhattan Area Chamber of Commerce Meeting and Banquet was held Friday night.
The event this year was held in a hybrid model due to the pandemic restrictions.
Larie Schoap, 2020 Chamber Chair, reflected on the past year and the pandemic, saying that the community really stepped up. She says everyone took on the task she set forth last February of looking at “What’s in it for ME.” The ME being the Manhattan Economy.
“By supporting our local businesses, not only by shopping with them, but also the decision was to wear a mask or to keep social distance in order to help everyone survive,” Schoap says. “And now getting the vaccine shot to show that our community is moving in the right direction by knowing that public health creates economic health.”
