End of the Year MVCC Wrap

We had an exhilarating 2023. The Montrose-Verdugo City Chamber of Commerce celebrated 100 years of executing our mission to actively support and enrich the community, vitality and pride of Montrose, to help preserve the historic district and small town atmosphere, to promote economic stability and positive, productive relationships within Montrose and the surrounding communities.

We hosted our annual events like our Easter “MVCC Egg My Home,” Montrose Craft Beer Fest, bi-monthly mixers, monthly ribbon cutting ceremonies and, of course, the Montrose Oktoberfest. We also got a new website that is more user-friendly where community members can check out upcoming events of our business members, find offers and see who is hiring locally.

Lastly, we were fortunate enough to be able to support our community and local non-profit organizations through sponsorships like: the YMCA of the Foothills Community Prayer Breakfast, the Lincoln Lions Dad’s Club Poker Night, Fremont Elementary’s new mosaic wall, the CVHS jazz band combo at our Centennial plus Community Awards Dinner, MVCC restaurant members who participated in our Montrose Craft Beer Fest, local families with Easter baskets delivered by GPD, and the many non-profits that assisted us with Oktoberfest.

We feel fortunate to have the opportunities we have had to contribute to our community and hosting events for families to get together and become better acquainted with our local businesses. We cannot wait to do this – and more – in 2024.

The MVCC wishes everyone Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!
