With only five months left in our Chamber’s 100th Anniversary year, now is the perfect time for you or your member business/organization to contribute to our $250,000 Centennial Celebration Capital Campaign—especially with Treasurer Ralph Pechanio offering to match up to $25,000 in gifts to his endowment fund at Elmhurst College.
While the City of Elmhurst’s roots date back to the 1830s, it was back in 1918 that a group of some 60 prominent businesspeople gathered in H.O. Stevens’ home to establish the Elmhurst Boosters’ Club that developed into our Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce & Industry of today.
Elmhurst’s Memorial Day began the same year (1918) that as our Centennial-celebrating Chamber and will conduct its 100th Anniversary march on Monday, May 28, stepping off from the intersection of York and Third streets in downtown Elmhurst at 9:30 a.m.
President Donald Trump on March 28 nominated Illinois State Senator Kyle McCarter (R-54th District) of downstate Lebanon to serve as our United States Ambassador to the African Republic of Kenya, where he has done charity work since 1984.
