December Monthly Recap
December closed out a great year and was full of ribbon cuttings, networking events, and School2Skills. We look forward to what 2024 has to offer and the opportunity to continue supporting our current members and gaining new ones!

Coffee & Commerce
December Coffee & Commerce was held at Cobblestone Hotel & Suites/Wissota Chophouse, and sponsored by Hope Village. We had such a great turnout and learned about Hope Village's goals, future plans, and community impact. Thank you to our host and sponsor for making this such a great morning of networking and connection.
Business After Hours
The Chamber hosted our December BAH, sponsored by Northwestern Bank and Boys and Girls Club of the Greater Chippewa Valley. With a fun holiday atmosphere, this night brought great conversation, many members that hadn't been to the Chamber yet, and great door prizes! What a great way to end our networking events for 2023 and a huge thank you for everyone that attended and our wonderful sponsors!
School2Skills
Our School2Skills program in early December brought approximately 25 students from Chippewa Falls Middle School to CVTC Health Education Center, Healthcare Workforce Training Institute, LakeHouse Chippewa Falls, and Smiles in Motion. Students learned about career paths in various healthcare fields with hands-on educational activity sessions. Thank you to the staff and professionals for teaching the students about the many career opportunities in these specific healthcare settings!
