"Very reluctantly, the Boonville area Chamber of Commerce is postponing their annual business meeting scheduled for this Thursday, March 16, 2023 at the Boonville VFW. This notice is to inform chambermembers, and the community, that the third and final meeting of their newly formed bylaws committee, consisting of three chamber, members and three board of directors, we're not able to come to a consensus, on March 10th .

Letters will be mailed to Chamber members with more details and plans for a productive legal annual meeting. Thank you."
