The history of the Warsaw-Richmond County Chamber of Commerce that supports businesses in the Heart of the Northern Neck of Virginia. Our History The Warsaw Chamber of Commerce, organized in 1952, consisted of "32 firms and 20 individuals." Elected officers were "H Marston Smith, president; Dr. J.T. Clanton, Sr., vice-president; Mrs. Mazie C. Sanders, secretary, and Lewis A. Hinson, treasurer." Among the many events they sponsored were the "Outdoor Christmas Lighting Contest"; "Clean-up Week" to "make the town more presentable"; the Warsaw Christmas Parage which provided "free Christmas entertainment in Warsaw", and "Warsaw Days" a "gala two-day event" which was the "biggest promotion ever attempted in town". In addition to the events, the Chamber of Commerce was also responsible for the "Welcome to Warsaw signs and the "Welcome Wagon". The Warsaw Welcome Wagon brought new residents "greetings and a warm welcome." Pictured are Chamber members Irving Beauchamp (left) and Annie Bruce Robertson (second from the left). The "wagon" was a 1930 Model A Ford driven by Mel Aycock. photo and text excerpt below taken from The Richmond County Museum CONTINUE THE STORY Seventy-plus years of local business, still going The same volunteer spirit that founded the Chamber in 1952 still runs it today.

The Christmas in July Event from the Warsaw-Richmond County Chamber of Commerce that supports businesses in the Heart of the Northern Neck of Virginia. Christmas in July A mid-summer Chamber tradition — part scavenger hunt, part grant program — built to shine a light on member businesses all July long. Every July, Richie the Elf trades the North Pole for the Northern Neck and turns up somewhere around Richmond County — hiding out at a different Chamber member business. Guess where he's stationed on the Chamber's Facebook page for a chance to win daily prizes. It's a playful way to send foot traffic and attention to the businesses hosting him, and a mid-summer excuse to check the Chamber's Facebook page daily for clues. HOW TO PLAY Find Richie the Elf Follow the Chamber on Facebook throughout July. Watch for daily posts revealing which member business Richie is visiting. Comment your guess for a chance to win that day's prize. MEMBER GRANT PROGRAM The Christmas in July Grant Up to $2,000 Each July, the Chamber puts real dollars behind the season — a matching grant program to help members invest back into their businesses. The Chamber will match up to $2,000 for business "improvement" expenses like furniture, equipment, or signage. Payroll and standard operating costs (utilities, rent, mortgage) don't qualify. If you've already purchased the item, include a receipt with your application; if not yet purchased, include a cost estimate. The Chamber approves funding for up to half of the total expense. Application Window July 1 – July 31 Match Amount Up to $2,000, covering up to 50% of the expense Winners Announced At the Chamber's August Board meeting Eligible Expenses Business improvements — furniture, equipment, signage, and similar Current Chamber members only, and the purchase can't have been made before January 1 of the grant year. Chamber Board members are not eligible to apply. Make sure your membership is up to date before applying. WANT IN?
