Aloha, Chamber friends! 🌺🌴

Last night’s June Chamber Mixer at ClearSky Rehabilitation Hospital of Lecanto brought all the island vibes and plenty of great connections!

Thank you to the ClearSky Rehabilitation Hospital of Lecanto team for hosting such a fun and welcoming evening for our members. From the luau theme and tropical atmosphere to the delicious food, it was the perfect way to unwind, catch up, and make new connections.

We loved seeing so many of our Chamber members come together to mix, mingle, and make waves in the best possible way. Events like these are such a great reminder of the energy, collaboration, and community spirit that make our business network so special.

Thank you to everyone who joined us! 🌺

On June 19, 1865, Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, with news that the Civil War had ended and enslaved people were free, word that came more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, and far too late for far too many.

Communities have honored this day for generations with gatherings, food, and reflection. In 2021, it became a federal holiday.

Today, we pause to recognize that history.

Happy Juneteenth!

Sarah Foti, a lifelong beekeeper and small business owner here in Citrus County, recently suffered a devastating barn fire that destroyed equipment, tools, bee boxes, personal belongings, and irreplaceable family heirlooms tied to her family’s decades-long beekeeping legacy.

As a Chamber, we believe supporting local businesses means standing with them in the hard moments, too. The Citrus County Chamber of Commerce is donating $500 to help Sarah begin the rebuilding process, and we are challenging our members, partners, and community to join us in supporting her recovery.

Whether you are able to donate, share the fundraiser, or simply help spread the word, every bit of support matters.

Citrus County has always been at its best when we take care of our own. Let’s help Sarah rebuild.

The Citrus County Chamber of Commerce was proud to be part of a big moment last week, the Citrus County YMCA Expansion Groundbreaking Ceremony!

This expansion will bring more access to healthy living, youth development, and community connection for Citrus County residents.

A strong community is the foundation of a strong local economy, and this is exactly the kind of investment that moves both forward. Congratulations to the YMCA and everyone who made this vision possible. We can't wait to see it come to life!

🇺🇸 Happy Flag Day!

Today, June 14th, we pause to honor the symbol that unites us all, the American flag.

From the local businesses supporting our community, to the volunteers and organizations giving back to those in need, to the festivals and events that fill our parks, everything we do as a community is rooted in the freedoms that flag represents.

Happy Flag Day from all of us at the Citrus County Chamber of Commerce.

What a great afternoon of networking, collaboration, and community conversation at today’s June Chamber Luncheon!

Thank you to our featured speakers, Bob Esposito, Executive Director of the Hernando/Citrus Metropolitan Planning Organization, and Mitch Eakin, Citrus County Assistant Public Works Director, for sharing valuable updates on transportation projects, infrastructure priorities, and the collaborative planning efforts helping shape the future of Citrus County. Their insights provided attendees with a better understanding of both regional and local roadway projects and the important partnerships driving these initiatives forward.

We would also like to thank our luncheon sponsors, Citrus 95.3, Hits 106, Naturecoast Country, and The Fox 96.7, for their continued support of our Chamber and business community.

Congratulations to this month’s New Image Award recipients, the Citrus County Sheriff's Office and HCA Florida Black Diamond Emergency Room. These organizations were recognized for their commitment to enhancing the appearance and vitality of our community through outstanding investment in their facilities.

Thank you to everyone who joined us today. This is what Chamber membership is all about, bringing business and community leaders together to share ideas, build relationships, and stay informed on the issues impacting Citrus County.

We look forward to seeing you at our July Chamber Luncheon, where we will be hosting the BOCC Primary Candidate Political Forum.
