Wesley Chapel Chamber Celebrates 15 Years & More

By Gary Nager,

It’s hard for me to fathom that the Greater Wesley Chapel Chamber of Commerce (WCCC) is celebrating its 15th anniversary this month, and even harder to believe the number of ribbon cutting events and Chamber mixers I’ve been to just in the last 30 days alone — too many, in fact, to post a pic of most of them in this space — and yet, I only attended about 2/3 of the 15 available Chamber events since our last issue went to press.

The other thing that amazes me is how many of the 15 ribbons the WCCC has cut since mid-October weren’t held at businesses located in what we call Wesley Chapel at all. In fact, more than 1/3 of them took place either in New Tampa or the Lutz/Land O’Lakes area.

In other words, Wesley Chapel’s Cham- ber is one of the busiest, most successful “small” (as in, not located in a major city) chambers of commerce I’ve ever heard of or seen. The “players” at the WCCC may have changed over the years, but if you own a business in our area — new or otherwise — and you haven’t had these folks over to your place to cut a ribbon, you’ve been missing out on a great chance to expose your business to dozens of local business leaders and owners.
