The C4 Report From the City of Central Chamber of Commerce

    This is our last C4 Report for 2012. So, as we wrap up 2012 and look forward to 2013 we want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Prosperous and Blessed New Year!

    What a great year 2012 has been for the Chamber!  Growth continued for the business community and our chamber, as we conducted over 25 ribbon cutting ceremonies and added over 40 new members to the chamber!  Our members were able to gain education and enhance their business knowledge through our cooperation with the LSU Business and Technology Center’s Mobile Classroom program.  Membership Luncheons provided our members with the opportunities to network, promote their business and listen to guest speakers that helped them stay informed.  By adding a new software program, upgrading our website, enhancing our membership benefits, moving into a new office location and several other improvements, we are now able to better serve our members and the Central Community.  Once again, events such as the Krewe de Centrale Mardi Gras Ball and the Christmas in Central Parade and Festival went off without a hitch and were a tremendous success, thanks to the participation of our members and the community!  

    As we move forward into 2013, your City of Central Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and staff are continuing to pursue group collaborations, the creation of events and activities, and various promotions that will enable us to enhance our local commerce, provide extra benefits to our membership and promote the great community of Central.   Thanks to all of our members who make this pursuit possible!  Watch for emails, E-newsletters, C4 Reports in the newspaper, newsletter updates and attend monthly luncheons to find out how we are continuing to move forward!
