 In the last month the Oroville Chamber has been steadily working for it's community and members. One big thing that came out this month is the Early Bird ticket sales for our Oroville Chamber Annual Dinner. The dinner will be held on April 2 and we will go over what the Chamber has been doing for Oroville over the last year.
We also hosted two events of our own! We had a great time learning about Pacifica Senior Living Country Crest during our monthly Coffee Connection. At our monthly Lunch Mob, Tong Fong Low provided delicious food as everyone took the opportunity to network.
Through our contracts with the Department of Water Resources and the City of Oroville's Supplemental Benefit Fund, we were able to promote the Snow Goose Festival and Restaurant Week. We shared these events to the public through digital billboards, email, our websites, and on social media.  Lastly, our CEO/President, Eric Smith, represented the Oroville Community at the International Sportsman's Expo at Cal Expo in Sacramento. Throughout the four day event Eric spoke to hundreds of people about the recreational and entertainment opportunities Oroville has to offer.

On Thursday, April 11 we held our sold out 75th Oroville Chamber Annual Dinner. We wanted to take this time and thank everyone who attended and everyone who sponsored our event.
Our Annual Dinner was fantastic and full of super fun! With the theme of superheroes, Butte County's very own superhero Sheriff Kory Honea was the guest keynote speaker. We also took the time to honor some of our members who stepped up during the Camp Fire incident: The Hope Center, Jordan Crossing Ministry, River of Life Church, Ampla Health, The Salvation Army, Northwest SPCA, Ed Gilbert with Feather Falls Casino & Lodge, Oroville Rescue Mission, YMCA of Oroville, African American Family & Cultural Center, and The Father's House Church.

On Saturday, January 26, Communications Coordinator, Amber Marron went on the Lake Oroville Visitor Center‘s Saturday Morning Nature Walk. This walk took us up Sycamore Hill on a beautiful morning. The wind was crisp, but 17 other people joined me on this three mile walk. Hikers were both young and old, and with this being the toughest hike from January due to the steeper incline, everyone was able to complete the three mile walk just fine. The guides from the Lake Oroville Visitor Center were always open to answering questions about species of mushrooms and plants to how the hiking trail was created. Once we climbed in elevation there were gorgeous views of the Oroville Dam and the river below. Right before the very top there was a Trail Log for the Brad Freeman/Dan Bebee Trail which I signed. Unfortunately I could not make it to the very top due to my susceptibility to poison oak, so if you are looking to hike Sycamore Hill make sure to take precautions due to the presence of poison oak. Overall it was a great time that I will continue to participate in! These weekly walks take place every Saturday with hikers meeting at the Lake Oroville Visitor Center at 9:00 am sharp.
