Community Services

Lending a Helping Hand

Tri-Lakes boasts many civic organizations and clubs that are active in the community, promoting various charitable activities and providing a wide range of events and entertainment. Through the Chamber’s Nonprofit Council, many of these organizations work together to strengthen the sum of the whole. By creating is community calendar, the Chamber has served as a central clearinghouse to help assure that each event gets the maximum chance for success. Volunteerism is a way of life for many of the retired people of the area.
