As the 2013-14 The Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce season begins, the chamber invites businesses, organizations and individuals in the community to join the chamber.
The chamber currently has 182 members and has expanded this season to offer memberships to individuals not necessarily associated with a business or organization.
"We invite interested residents of the larger Bluffton community to consider joining the chamber to show their support the community," said Fred Steiner, chamber CEO.
Small House Bluffton Design/Build announces an open house Sunday, July 28, from 2 to 4 p.m. at 207 N. Lawn Ave., Bluffton, site of the contractor’s first construction project.
The house is designed with improved energy efficiency, coupled with smaller living spaces, among other “green” building practices.
Sunday's community worship service, sponsored by the Bluffton Area Ministerial Association, will take place in the Bluffton Middle School cafetorium rather than on the Bluffton Presbyterian Church lawn.
The service was moved to the school because of the possibility of showers and cool, windy weather predicted Sunday morning.
The service begins at 9 a.m. Please bring along your lawn chairs for seating.
