Vista Chamber Updates

National Volunteer Week

This past week was National Volunteer Week and we couldn't let it go by without celebrating all the great volunteers that help make the Vista Chamber a great organization. Volunteers were recognized at our Business Mixer that took place at Lamppost Pizza.


Want to be a part of our amazing group of volunteers? You can help volunteer at the Vista Strawberry Festival on Sunday, May 28!


Volunteer opportunities go from helping during morning set-up, to cutting pies for the Pie-Eating contest, and maybe being on own Berry mascot!
