Chamber President

Greetings,

Welcome to the first edition

of the McLoud Chamber of

Commerce “Chamber Chat-

ter” newsletter. The goal of

the newsletter is to inform

our members and community

of Chamber activities, com-

munity activities and most

importantly promote our

chamber members and

businesses. Promote…we

plan to “Spotlight” a chamber

business in each addition. A

Spotlight business is a

business that has a special

event or promotion taking

place. Please inform the

Chamber office of any special

events or promotions you are

having. In addition to the

business “Spot Light” we will

also feature additional

business members in each

edition. Inform…our plan is to

use the newsletter to not only

promote chamber activities

but community activities as

well. Each edition will include

an event calendar that lists

chamber and community

activities. Please encourage

community or civic organiza-

tions to contact the chamber

office with information that

they would like included in the

calendar.

We hope you enjoy and find

this first edition to be a useful

tool to promote and inform

our membership and commu-

nity of the Chamber activities

and our member business-

es. As always, your input on

McLoud Clinic Pharmacy

recently celebrated its 13th

anniversary on September

27th! They are the only

pharmacy in McLoud and they

offer prescriptions, vaccinations

and free delivery in the McLoud

area. Recently they added

“Nutraceuticals” which are

natural supplements and

probiotics that replace

nutrients that RX’s sometimes

deplete and they will soon have

a MedSafe drop box for the

safe disposal of medications for

the public. The upcoming

National Drug Take-Back Day

spurred the McLoud Clinic

Pharmacy to hold a Health Fair

on Saturday, October 28th

from 10am-2pm. The event will

include an unused drug take-

back, flu shots, blood pressure,

blood sugar checks & much

more (see flyer on pg 2).

Pharmacist Lauren Palmer and

her 6 employees are very

active in the Chamber as well

as the community and we are

happy to put a SPOTLIGHT on

their commitment to the town

of McLoud.

McLoud Clinic Pharmacy, go to

Getting to Know Our Members

In 1996, a merger with Bank of

Commerce brought BancFirst to the town

of McLoud. Today, BancFirst McLoud and

its 11 employees (most of whom are

longtime residents of McLoud) are very

active in the community. Most recent

examples would be sponsorship of the

new “BancFirst KidZone” for the 2017

McLoud Chili Cook-Off or partnering with

other nearby BancFirst locations to

donate cases of copier paper to area

schools -including 15 cases (150 reams)

to McLoud Public Schools.

In January, a major remodel is planned

that will include a beautiful stone entry

and it will take approximately 6 months.

BancFirst has special promo for this

quarter for 3.25% APR consumer loans.
