ello, Isle of Palms community! With spring in the air and longer days among us, the Isle of Palms Chamber of Commerce is gearing up for an active season of service, outreach and community support. Over the past year, chamber membership has increased by 15 percent, and we are excited to welcome our newest members DeepWater Church and King & Society Real Estate and Construction. In addition, the chamber recently established our Membership Committee to be led by members from CRM Services, Lowcountry Community Chaplaincy and Palmetto Painting Contractors. This committee will further develop our membership processes and outreach. We have also established our Hospitality Committee and are seeking volunteers who will serve the hospitality needs of the chamber forcement Neighborhood Support (LENS) Foundation for the success of the inaugural Wild Child Triathlon on Feb. 25. The event was a great success and highlighted LENS’ impact on our great community. We wish you a wonderful and safe start to spring and encourage all residents and businesses to reach out to us for support and collaboration. We love being your neighbor! You can stay informed about our community and IOP Chamber by following @DiscoverIOP and @IOPchamber.
