The Community Awareness Committee of the Greater Hazleton of Commerce will providing a free tour, courtesy of Motor Transportation Co., of the community on Saturday, June 23rd. The tour will take place from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, leaving from behind the Chamber offices, which are located at 20 West Broad Street in the Citiscape Complex next to the Markle Building in Downtown Hazleton.

The tour will be the fourth conducted by the Chamber to help make newcomers to the area more aware of what the Hazleton community has to offer.

According to Donna Palermo, President, gWe at the Chamber, know that it is not only very important for new employees to be able to enjoy a great quality of life here in the Hazleton Area, but focus must also be placed on providing amenities for family members as well. By conducting community tours for our newcomers, we feel it will provide a great benefit for the spouse or other family members who are not familiar with what the area has to offer in the form of recreation, housing, education, worship, etc. The tours, conducted by members of the committee, will also benefit those individuals who may have moved to the area one or two years ago, but simply are still not all that familiar with the area.h

Mailings have again gone out to businesses and industries throughout the area asking them to advise any newcomers who have joined their business to make them aware of this service. The tour is open to anyone who would like to learn more about the community. Space is limited and reservations are required by calling Leann Scatton, marketing director, at the Chamber office at 455-1509 or by email at lscatton@hazletonchamber.org.
