 The Moville Chamber of Commerce was founded on May 16, 1955 as an
organization to advance the civic, commercial, industrial,
agricultural and social interests of the town of Moville, Iowa and
surrounding territory. The Moville Chamber was the successor
organization to what was known as the Moville Commercial Club.
Membership to this organization is the same today as written in the
original 1955 by-laws. “Any person, Firm, Association or Corporation
interested in the general welfare of the city of Moville and the
surrounding territory shall be eligible to membership in this
Chamber of Commerce.
Today, the organization continues meeting, planning and
organizing just as it did in 1955. In recent years, the membership
has grown to nearly 70 commercial and individual members. The
organization holds monthly meetings on the second Monday of each
month except for the months of July and August. It continues to
sponsor many community events and has been instrumental in
coordinating several community projects. In particular, members of
the Chamber along with volunteers from MCDAI were influential in
organizing and funding the Market Grocery Store Project. Members of
the Chamber volunteer and contribute to many community events. |
