The Chamber in the Community
|
Primary focuses of the Lockwood Chamber of Commerce are to support local charities and to contribute to the betterment of our community. In recent years, The Chamber has purchased a defibrillator for the Ambulance Service ($1000), and a "Jaws of Life" unit for the Volunteer Fire Department ($2000). The Chamber has also donated $2000 to the Lockwood Community Foundation, and $5000 to the Lockwood Athletic Booster Club Stadium Project (see picture-right). |
