Hello Chamber Members!

I recently had the opportunity to go see the movie, Gladiator II, over the Thanksgiving weekend. I had not seen the original Gladiator movie but needed to entertain my son-in-law for an afternoon and this movie checked the box.

The movie takes place in Rome where Lucius must fight in the gladiator arena to preserve his life after the emperors of Rome conquer his home. With the future of Rome at stake, Lucius slays Macrinus and unites the current Roman army with the overthrowing army and declares a new Rome based on strength and honor. We enter 2025 at the Shippensburg Chamber of Commerce with great excitement and anticipation! Join us as we transition from our new beginning in 2024 to our 2025 theme of strength and honor.

Our current President, Wendy Kipe, Community Coordinator, Michaela Wetzel, Office Manager, Monica Logan, and the board of directors provide you, the member, a strong leadership team to help your business grow. Additionally, we pledge to conduct our business and treat our membership and the Shippensburg Community with honor and integrity.

Check out our new community calendar on the new and improved Chamber website for a list of all community activities. The Chamber, DOIT and SADCO are all working together to make our community better. We look forward to this new golden age in 2025 with strength and honor!
