March Monthly Chamber Update

This month the Warsaw Richmond County Chamber of Commerce accomplished the following items:

We are donating $500 each to the RCC Scholarship Fund and RHS After Prom

Our March 2026 After Hours will be held at Healthy Harvest Food Bank on Friday, March 27, 2026 at 6pm.  Bring a non-perishable item to donate with you!   See the attached flyer for more details!  Please make sure to RSVP. https://forms.gle/6s2rRaUz1ks68WBC6

If you missed our Winter Speaker Series, you missed the fun!  Glen Sydnor from NNK Tax & Accounting gave us a full run down on the 2025 Tax Season and some important things to watch for this year!  We ate some delish pizza and learned some new information!

Our 2026 Membership Drive has begun!  Thank you to the 21 businesses/organizations that have already renewed their membership for this year!  We are excited to have you on board and can't wait for another fun year!  If you haven't already renewed your membership, the annual letter is attached.  You can send in your payment by mail or you can submit your membership online at: https://www.wrccoc.com/join-or-renew-now

The Town of Warsaw Council Meeting is Thursday, March 12, 2026.  

WRC Main Street Program is in the process of restructuring and is working on getting some grant funding for different projects big and small in the community.

Sara will be presenting our request at the County Budget Presentation Meeting on Thursday, March 12th.

We welcomed Tammy Desai as a new Board Member!  Welcome aboard!  There are a couple more spots to fill on our Board.  Please us know if you would like to join us!

During our Warsaw Fest 2026 Meeting that followed the Board meeting we discussed the following items:

• Grand Marshal ideas... we might have a real good one, but if you have any ideas, please let us know!

•  Kirsten will be Chairing the Parade and Baby & Beauty Pageants

•  Patrick will be Charing the Car & Truck Show

We will continue reaching out to organizations for volunteers this year.  It worked out great last year and hopefully we will get even more participation!  If your business/organization would like to volunteer during Warsaw Fest, please let us know- we can always trade your in-kind volunteering for a sponsorship!

We will be reaching out to our regular vendors to confirm the date- Saturday, October 10, 2026. Sponsorship & Vendor forms will begin going out in April/May! We hope you have a wonderful day and we can't wait to see you at our next event!
