What’s Going on in Sun City Center?

As usual, a lot is going on at the Sun City Center Chamber of Commerce!  We’re bustling with activity from lectures and seminars to Spring Trade Fair registration to selling baseball tickets! 

This coming Tuesday, February 26, from 10 AM to 2 PM, Sonic Innovations will present information regarding hearing and deaf services. This program is sponsored by Hillsborough Hearing Aid and will cover hearing assisted telephones and many other services available to the public.  The event is free to everyone and light refreshments will be served.  For additional information, you may call 727-458-9647.  RSVP is not required.

On Wednesday, February 27, from 1 PM to 4 PM, the Republican Club will hold their open meeting.  The featured speaker is Ron Reagan, State Representative for District 67 (District 67 covers the entire area north of 674).  Ron will speak on many topics of interest, especially the new law regarding property taxes and will also discuss some insurance issues.  For additional information, you may call Dee Williams of the Republican Club at 633-1360.

Open registration has begun for the 19th Annual Sun City Center Chamber Spring Trade Fair which will be held at the Community Hall, 1910 S. Pebble Beach Blvd in Sun City Center on Tuesday, April 8 from 8 AM to 2 PM.  This is always a fun and informative event and free to the public.  What a great venue for members to showcase their products and/or service! Outside refreshments will be sold by local non-profit organizations and inside the Hall, Chamber Ambassador Pat Zaidel will once again hold her lively Bingo games.  All of our exhibitors are members of the Sun City Center Area Chamber of Commerce so if you have been considering joining our busy Chamber, now is the perfect time to come aboard!
