Spanish Fork Salem Connection Business Directory President's Corner Stacy Beck The mission of the Spanish Fork Salem Area Chamber of Commerce is to promote the growth and recognition of local businesses. This past month I have seen that happening regularly. Have you checked out the chambers website lately? It’s amazing! We are working on more regular Facebook posts as well. It’s definitely a great time to be a member of OUR chamber of commerce. Take advantage of networking at our luncheons and supporting other businesses in their success. Through your efforts you will see your relationships grow. Since I joined the chamber I have developed relationships that will last a lifetime. It’s a bonus if that turns into a business relationship! Executive Director Message Clark H. Caras Growing up in Spanish Fork the words "Fiesta Days" were magic to me because it was like Christmas in July! And with Grandpa and Grandma Harrison living a half block off Main Street on 5th North it was like being right in the middle of it all. Overnight American flags began fluttering up and down the boulevard and even as a kid you knew that red, white and blue signaled something important and special. And especially when that brand new Memorial Building was home to men who could talk about Iwo Jima, D-Day and a reverent place called Pearl Harbor. And to be blessed with that famous Canyon Wind that every morning brought those pieces of cloth to attention and made them snap to remind you they were there! continue... Don't Forget! Noon Networking is moving to the 3rd Wednesday of each month. Location may vary so make sure to check the calendar on the chamber's homepage and watch your inbox for the rsvp email with full details.

The concert will take place on Friday, July 17 at 8:30 p.m. in the picturesque Americana setting of Spanish Fork City's Fairgrounds Arena. To Be American, a choral fantasy composed and arranged by MCO founder, Brett Stewart, was premiered in April and May of 2014. Conductors, Brett and Brandon Stewart, Cory Mendenhall, and Cherilyn Worthen had the opportunity of collaborating with radio talk show host, Glenn Beck, in a series of nine concerts in four states with Mr. Beck narrating American stories as MCO performed Stewart's original compositions and arrangements. Utah Valley Millennial Choirs and Orchestra (UVMCO) has invited other MCO participants from Arizona, California, and Texas to join UVMCO in Spanish Fork's patriotic celebration, anticipating hundreds of singers and instrumentalists in concert! This performance is sure to stir the patriot within each of us, to a desire to rebuild America with principles of doing the right for the right reason! Honored to take part in Spanish Fork City's Fiesta Days, MCO's performance of To Be American will certainly provide an unprecedented role in offering depth, meaning, spirit, and honor to this annual celebration, known to bring our community together.
