If you have any interest, or know someone you would like to nominate, please call the Chamber office and let us know. We need good, hard-working directors to help lead the Chamber and to plan our activities. The Olympics are now less than 140 days away, and it s time to prepare to host the world. Even though we are on the fringe of the Olympic events, we will have many visitors coming here, and we must make a good impression. This will be the best chance we will ever have to showcase our area to the world, and we all must be ready to welcome our visitors and give them a taste of what Tooele County and Utah are all about.
Businesses can prepare by having employees who are well-trained in hospitality and customer service.
Visitors, especially those from other countries, may not be familiar with our practices or customs, and we need to be extremely patient when serving them, particularly if there is a language problem. Various activities are planned during or related to the Olympics. The single biggest event to be held locally will be the Olympic Torch Relay, which will come through Tooele on February 6th, two days before the opening ceremonies. Several local residents will be privileged to carry the torch, and a huge celebration is being planned for that day. Congratulations to all Tooele County residents who have signed up to help out as volunteers in order to get involved and get as close as possible to the action.
