Grinnell Area Chamber of Commerce to host second New Resident Welcome Event on Thursday, May 23

         The Grinnell Area Chamber of Commerce will be hosting a second New Resident Welcome and invites those who have relocated to Grinnell in the past 12-18 months to attend. On Thursday, May 23 from 4 - 6 p.m. new residents and their families are invited to join at Central Park near the pavilion.
          The New Resident Welcome is an opportunity for those new to the area to learn more about Grinnell, find ways to get involved and to enjoy one of our beautiful community parks. Vendors representing a variety of businesses and organizations from the Grinnell community will be present to share information and answer questions new residents may have. Attendees will also enjoy a free meal, courtesy of HyVee-Grinnell.
​  The event is free to attend; however, RSVP’s are requested by visiting www.grinnellchamber.org/en/events/new_resident_welcome or by calling the chamber office at 641-236-6555.
          “Grinnellians who attended the first event in the fall of 2023 specifically noted how much they enjoyed meeting different organizations and appreciated the ability to ask questions and learn about activities in Grinnell,” noted Marissa Ylagan with the Grinnell Chamber. “We’re excited to be providing another opportunity for even more new residents to have a similar experience, welcoming them to our community.”
