(Atlantic) The Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce is following the State’s recommendations that community events and large meeting be postponed/cancelled for the next four weeks.
Therefore, the Chamber is postponing Girls Gettin’ Out, Ambassador’s, Alive After 5’s and large meetings for the next four weeks. The Easter Egg Hunt scheduled for April 11th has been cancelled. With recommendations constantly changing, the Chamber will stay up-to-date and readjust as needed.
Atlantic Chamber Director Bailey Smith said, “Postponing/cancelling events, social gatherings and encouraging public health precautions all while still encouraging local shopping can be a tricky. We hear your concerns and are dedicated to reminding the community “Atlantic is still open for business”. Multiple businesses in town are already being extremely pro-active and are offering online features and delivery services. We encourage other businesses to follow suit if able. If you have adjusted your hours or added additional services, please let us know so we can help promote them. Currently, there are no Local or State lockdown demands regarding business, so we believe it’s up to the business on how you want to proceed with day-to-day operations. Of course, we will recommend and encourage whatever Local, State and Federal mandates are made as time goes on and remind you to be vigilant about the current situation.”
The Chamber staff plan on being in the office, unless things change, and are being very cautious and vigilant about their health and the health of those who are coming into the office.
