President's Updates
July Updates
Summer is in full swing, and if you are not sure all you have to do is step outside and the heat will tell you. Summer is always a strange time for me, with the kids out of school, a bit of a more relaxed atmosphere and most summers planning for our summer vacation. Of course, on the flip side, my job doesn’t take the summer off, nor do the bills. Summer does, however, offer us a time for reflection. It is halfway through the year, allowing us the opportunity to look at the past six months and plan for the rest of the year. It never hurts to try and find time to undertake this evaluation, both professionally and personally. Are you where you want to be? Have things improved, stayed the same or do you continue to struggle as we leave most of the Covid restrictions behind us?
For me, the past six months have been crazy. Practicing primarily in land use and commercial real estate law, I have seen an incredible frenzy of activity. Navigating the workload, Covid restrictions and needs of clients has been difficult at times. Long days, and a few sleepless nights, were inevitable. Under control once again, I have had an opportunity to reflect on the past year and my business. Steady work at the start of 2020 came to a grinding halt in April of last year. Months of wondering what the future would bring followed. I was fortunate that with fall, and the gradual re-opening of local governments, the work opportunities came back. And then from there it went crazy. New projects, excited real estate clients and a push for quick approvals and closings.
Our business survived Covid and came out of those days leaner and hopefully stronger and better focused. I certainly grew to appreciate even more my co-workers, the professionals I work with frequently, and the Palm City Chamber of Commerce for being there and for being a resource and sounding board for some of those difficult times. Whether your business is once again soaring, is still struggling or you have decided to change paths (whether voluntarily or involuntarily) and venture into a new career, job, or other opportunity, always know there are resources available and support right around the corner. You are never alone, and the Palm City Chamber of Commerce is a great place to assist with continued growth, opportunity, or new beginnings.
I want to thank again all of our State Legislators for taking the time last month to attend the Palm City Chamber of Commerce’s June breakfast and discuss all that happened this past session in Tallahassee. It is wonderful to have such dedicated Legislators representing Martin County.
Enjoy the summer and stay tuned. Please continue to review the Palm City Chamber of Commerce’s website to remain up to date on all of our activities and events.

June Updates
We welcome the CDC’s updated guidelines to allow us to remove our masks in most areas if you are fully vaccinated. So wonderful to see more smiling faces at our Business After Hours, Ribbon Cuttings and other Chamber events. What a great way to start the summer! The resilience shown by our community and businesses over the past year will never cease to amaze me. What could have pulled us apart, instead brought us together. Through loss, struggles and difficulties we grew, we were innovative and we discovered new opportunities. We have hopefully fully turned the corner and great things remain ahead. Know that no matter what, through good times and trying times, your community Chamber will be by your side and ready, willing and able to assist. Continue to use the Chamber as a resource. As an opportunity to find new ways to grow and develop as a business. And just as important, become active in the Chamber and participate in the excitement and enthusiasm of the Chamber and all of its members. Tell your business partners and spread the word about Palm City Chamber of Commerce. If you haven’t attended a Palm City Chamber of Commerce event recently, please plan on doing so in the coming months and meet the wonderful businesses and people that make this Chamber so great.
With that thought in mind, even though summer is upon us and school may be out for the summer, your Palm City Chamber of Commerce remains active. This month we have a lunch and learn with Mas Technology Group on June 3rd at Manero’s (from 11:30AM to 1:30PM). You do not want to miss our June breakfast where we will be welcoming back our local State Senator and our State Representatives who will each give a legislative recap. June’s breakfast will be held at New Hope Fellowship Church. Come and learn what happened in the 2021 Florida Legislature this session!
There is also a lot going on in the Palm City and Martin County at a local level. New projects are coming to the area and we will continue to keep our members up to date on what is happening. We are excited about the improvements to Mapp Road and the Palm City CRA and can’t wait to see the completed work in a few weeks. Sunshine Land Design had done a great job on the project and the Chamber appreciates all of their efforts. Thank you also to Commissioner Ed Ciampi for leading the way and making this all possible for our community.
Stay stuned and stay involved. Remember we are your community Chamber and will always be Keepin’ it PC.

May Updates
Keepin’ it PC! The Palm City Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce our new marketing and brand slogan. Thank you Missi, her daughter LeighAnne, Nikki and Tara Biek-Robison for all the creativity and hard work in making this happen. We had a wonderful time announcing it at our kick-off party on April 30th at Ocean Republic Brewing, while also enjoying our Palm City Hefeweizen. This event was part of Ocean Republic Brewing’s “Ocean Gives Back Collaborative Brew Series” where each month a not-for-profit is highlighted to showcase their mission and assist in making a beer. A portion of the proceeds from that brew is donated to the not-for-profit selected for that month. We thank Ocean Republic Brewing for selecting the Palm City Chamber of Commerce along with so many of the wonderful non-profits we have in Martin County for this opportunity! The Palm City Chamber of Commerce shares in Ocean Republic Brewing’s compassion and to continue to pay it forward the Chamber donated a portion of the proceeds it received from the beer sales at the event to each of the twelve non-profits highlighted by the Palm City Chamber over the past year. Thank you again to Chris, Meghan and all the great people at Ocean Republic Brewing for helping our Community!
April was a busy month for your Community Chamber, and we intend to keep things going in May. We start the month with the Palm City Chamber of Commerce Annual Golf Tournament at the newly renovated Hammock Creek Golf Course and we will have exciting Ribbon Cuttings and Business After Hours throughout the month.
Throughout the month, please visit our website so you can stay up to date on all the events we have scheduled. Be sure to follow the Palm City Chamber of Commerce on Facebook and Instagram.

In June we hope to kick off not only the summer, but the completion of the Mapp Road CRA improvements. If you have any questions about what is going on with Mapp Road, and all the exciting things happening along that corridor, or any questions about the CRA, please contact Missi at the Chamber. There are also lots of other projects and activities happening throughout Palm City that we will continue to follow and update our members on as they move forward. Stayed tuned!

April Updates
As we move into the month of April, the start of Spring each year offers the opportunity for new beginnings, and perhaps new adventures and experiences. As we reflect on the past year (and what a year it has been!) we look forward to these new opportunities. As a Chamber of Commerce, we are no different. We (and really, I mean our incredible staff of Missi and Nikki) continue to find new and innovate ways to improve what the Chamber can offer its members and what opportunities we can present and support in our community. The Chamber, like you, continues to adapt and we are better for it.
Last month we, once again, cheered on a cow walking through a pasture patiently (?) waiting for it to poop. Thank you to the Rockin H Ranch for hosting the event again this year and for The Tom Jackson Band for the great entertainment. Thank you to all the sponsors, volunteers and the guests that attended the event. Though the cow was a little sneaky in where he (or she?) decided to poop this year, fun was had by all. This month we pivot and get ready for the 26th Annual Palm City Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament. The event is scheduled for May 1st at the newly renovated Hammock Creek Golf Club in Palm City. Sponsorships and golf foursomes are still available, but going fast, so please contact Missi or Nikki at the Chamber to secure your place now. This is an event you certainly do not want to miss out on.
Please visit our website so you can stay up to date on all the events we have lined up in the weeks and months ahead. As the saying goes, you get from the Chamber, what you put into the Chamber. These events are for you and an opportunity for you to grow and learn. Remember, we are your Chamber. We are your Community. New opportunities await you at the Palm City Chamber of Commerce!

March Updates
First, and foremost, I want to thank everyone for the opportunity to serve as President of the Palm City Chamber of Commerce. It is an honor and privilege to serve the business community in this capacity. I want to thank Missi and Nikki for being the guiding force over this past year, and in anticipation of the year to come. Without your efforts and dedication to the Palm City Chamber of Commerce, and our community, we would not be where we are today. I also want to thank Ronnie Kirchman, our Immediate Past President, for his leadership this past year as we all struggled to navigate through shutdowns and restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
On February 6th, the Palm City Chamber of Commerce held its annual Installation dinner. Due to Covid-19 our normal festivities were modified this year, with the event being a little smaller and held outside at the newly renovated Village Club and Preserve venue in Martin Downs Country Club. The event was a hit and a wonderful starting point for the Chamber 2021/2022 Board of Directors and new Executive Board. Like last year, this year will be challenging but as mentioned in my speech at the event we all will adapt and together as a community we will thrive.
We have an exciting year of events and activities so please continue to monitor your emails and the Palm City Chamber of Commerce website and Facebook page in the weeks and months ahead. I encourage and ask that you stay, or become, involved with the Chamber and let us help you and your business. In addition to Ribbon Cuttings and Business After Hours, this month the Palm City Chamber of Commerce is having another drive-in movie event. The event will take place at the Village Club & Preserve on Saturday, March 27th. If you haven’t attended a drive-in movie event with us previously, it is a wonderful, fun opportunity to have a safe, socially distant evening out under the stars. On March 31st at the Monarch Country Club we will have our monthly breakfast. Our speakers for the March breakfast are Noel DelValle from the Martin County Police Athletic League (PAL), sponsored by Recovery Insurance Adjusters, and Dr. John Millay, Superintendent of the Martin County School District, sponsored by Out2News, so please come out and hear what information they have to share.
Remember, we are #YourCommunityChamber and are here for you and your business. Big or small, the Palm City Chamber of Commerce is a resource for you and your business. We will all continue to adapt as we navigate 2021, but together, as a community, we will come out of this stronger.

September Updates
Hurricane season will hit its peak as we go into September and we all need to have our hurricane plan in place in case one comes towards us. We have been very fortunate to not have a hurricane so far but please do not let your guard down. The Palm City Chamber of Commerce has many outstanding members that can assist you during the hurricane season from insurance to impact windows and everything in between for your home and business. Please take a close look at our membership directory for your needs!
We are still in a pandemic so please be cautious of others by maintaining social distancing and wearing a mask to help you and the others that are around you. We, as a Chamber, are practicing this at our breakfast meetings and other events. Our Martin County Commissioners are working diligently to help us get through this pandemic. Thank you to our commissioners and citizens for respectfully working together to keep Martin County on the right track.
The Palm City Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors has decided to cancel Fall Fest this year due to the pandemic. However, I am honored to say that we have a list of exciting events planned out which include: Golf tournament on October 10, Clay Shoot on January 23, Installation Gala on February 6, and our Cow Plop on February 28. We are planning to bring the outdoor drive-in movies back this fall as well. We are here for our community and we are looking forward to seeing all of you real soon at one or all of our events!
Please continue to support the Palm City Chamber of Commerce as we do our best to support you, our community and local businesses.

August looks to be a time for new and interesting situations in our close-knit community. School will be starting in a whole different manner. Masks have been worn all over Martin County following a county mandate. Hurricane season is upon us. Yet, the strength of our community and the Palm City Chamber continues to shine through.
We had our first Networking Breakfast in 5 months on July 29th.

Our members wore their masks and social distanced thanks to the dedication of the staff at Monarch Country Club.
The Palm City Chamber looks forward to many more events including our 25th Annual Golf Tournament on October 10th at Martin Downs Country Club. We also have a Clay Shoot scheduled for January 23rd, our Installation Gala on February 6th, and Cow Plop Bingo February 28th.

June Update
Do not let the Coronavirus get you down and out!
The Palm City Chamber of Commerce was not about to let the Coronavirus keep us down and out. We had some amazing drive-in movies recently! As we were moving into phase 1, a night out at a drive-in movie is what we all needed. With a huge blow up screen and support from our sponsors, we were able to host a few spectacular movie nights for the entire family. This gave our Chamber an opportunity to support the businesses in the plaza where our office is located and provide a fun family event for the community as well as Chamber members. Moving forward, with high hopes of getting back to what the Chamber does best, supporting our business community with networking events and fun events, we will come out of this pandemic as a tighter group! Looking onto future events, we have the Golf Tournament on October 10th at Martin Downs Country Club, a Clay Shoot at South Florida Shooting Club, Cow Plop on February 28th at Rockin H Ranch, and a Casino Night at the South Florida Shooting Club to name a few of the events. Keep checking the Palm City Chamber’s Facebook page and the website to see the calendar of events being planned. A special shout out to Missi and Nikki for being the backbone of our Chamber during this pandemic. These two ladies have rocked it for your Palm City Chamber. Looking forward to getting out and seeing the magnificent people of our Chamber real soon at our next scheduled events. We, as a community, will beat this pandemic and come out shining!

The Palm City Chamber of Commerce held its 41st Annual Installation Gala February 1st at Piper’s Landing which was a masquerade theme. If you missed this awesome event, you can go to the Palm City Chamber website and see all the fun masquerades worn by those attending. Next year’s installation will be a blast, so do not miss it!

We had our first ever Cow Plop Bingo on Sunday, February 23rd, at the Rockin H Ranch in Palm City. It was filled with food trucks, the Tom Jackson Band, children area, and an arena marked off in small land parcels for the cow to take a plop. The lucky winner was Ryan DiNunzio who took home $3,000 just by the cow placing a plop within his purchased land parcel. This event was open to the public and it was rockin! We are already looking forward to next year’s event which will be bigger and even better than this year’s event.
I encourage and challenge each one of you to bring a guest to the next event and have them join our chamber, members do business with members!

November is a time for thankfulness and reflection. Thankfulness, by definition, is being conscious of the benefit received.

The variety of parks, sports related and natural, provide countless ways to get out and enjoy our surroundings. Continue Reading Here...

We all realize how fortunate we were to escape the wrath of Dorian; and now we are assisting our neighbors in the Bahamas. The citizens of Palm City and Martin County have donated “literally” tons of supplies and countless hours of community service to help with the rebuilding of the beautiful islands of the Bahamas. It is amazing, but not surprising, to see all members of our society working together for the common good. Continue Reading Here...

Summer 2019 has arrived as we all enjoy the outdoors both locally and out of state. We are fortunate to be able to make choices and travel freely; for which we have our veterans to thank. Our country recently celebrated the 75th anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy. With the July 4th celebration approaching, I would like to thank Martin County and our County Commissioner for the magnificent display of American Flags flying on the Veterans Bridge during patriotic holidays. Please keep all of our service members in your good thoughts. Continue Reading Here...
