During their December meeting the Superior Chamber of Commerce recapped all of the things that the non-profit group has accomplished and they also recognized the volunteers who help to keep the caboose visitor center open and the chamber office on Main Street open for visitors to stop by. Those in attendance had ample time to share in the holiday spirit and there were several holiday games for everyone to enjoy.

Sue Anderson, president of the chamber of commerce announced that Resolution Copper and the chamber have signed an agreement that provides the chamber with $20,000 to cover memberships for several of the contractors at the mine, sponsorship for events and also operating expenses for the chamber. She explained in the meeting that this support doubles the yearly budget for the chamber.

The chamber accomplished many goals in 2014, they started a marketing committee that is focused on promoting Superior to tourists and other businesses, they were able to move into their newly remodeled building on Main Street all while continuing to host the annual events in the community.

The volunteers recognized were: Mary Abrahamsen, Karen Afdahl, Tweedy Armitage, Joann Besich, Dixie Briegel, Pat Brown, Sandra Doyle, Sherry Figdore, Tina Gutierrez, Shirley Holmquist, Merrilee Kinney, Marilee Lasch, Deb McKee, Mike McKee, Janis Reynolds, Keri Richards, Pat Richards, Chris Simpson, Nancy Strong, LeAnnTaylor, Arlene Vader, and Nancy Vogler. The chamber also recognized Robert “Beto” Cervantez for designing and building the book cases and benches for the chamber.

The chamber will be hosting the seventh annual Home Tour and Antique Show on Jan. 23 and Jan. 24, 2015. Pre sale tickets will be available soon. For more information on chamber events, volunteering or becoming a member with the Superior Chamber of Commerce please call the chamber at 520-827-0676.
