Ada chamber plans Wednesday AM Zoom meeting

Merry on Main and other topics on the agenda

Ada Area Chamber of Commerce members will get together via Zoom next week.

The chamber traditionally meets in person on the third Wednesday of each month in the Ada Public Library. But, that stopped in early spring due to the covid-19 pandemic. The chamber board began meeting in person in September also after a similar hiatus.
