Join us for this week’s Chamber Coffee
Hosted by Chamber Member
Common Ground Coffee Co.
Common Ground is more than a coffee shop. It is an invitation to hang out with others, catch up on some studying or just find a little solitude, all while enjoying specialty drinks and scrumptious foods. As a small-town, non-profit business established by the local
Fort Scott Church of the Nazarene, they are all about making their customers know that they matter.

 Chamber Coffee hosted by the Friends of Fort Scott NHS

Leave a comment


The Fort Scott Area Chamber of Commerce invites members and guests to a Chamber Coffee this Thursday, January 27th at 8 a.m. hosted by Friends of Fort Scott NHS.

It will be held at First United Methodist Church in the Fellowship Hall, located at 301 S National Ave. Coffee and light refreshments will be served.

Friends of Fort Scott National Historic Site’s mission is to be a friend of the National Historic Site and their primary purpose is to support the National Historic Site in a partnership through activities that may include fundraising, volunteerism, education, advocacy and research. To do that they need to raise funds and they raise funds through their Flag Subscription Program.

They are kicking off their 2022 Flag Subscription Program in January.

For the last three years, they have put a full size flag in front of the homes of subscribers for the 5 flag holidays — Memorial Day, Flag Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day and Veteran’s Day.

Any member business or organization wanting to host Chamber Coffee in 2022 is encouraged to contact the Chamber to save a date by calling 620-223-3566 or emailing [email protected].
