Florence Chamber of Commerce met at noon Thursday in the ambulance room in the city building.

Santa’s annual visit Dec. 1 brought 23 children and 23 adults to talk to St. Nick. Twenty-six goody bags were given out with the remaining treats donated to Florence Housing Authority residents.

Dues notices will be discussed and revised at the January 3 meeting.

Officers for 2019 are Mary Jane Grimmett, president; Trayce Warner, vice president; Melvin Honeyfield, secretary; and Janet Robinson, treasurer.

It was decided to invite some guests to speak to chamber next year. Also discussed was the possibility of sponsoring several events during the year.
