Siouxland Chamber of Commerce Blog

The Siouxland Chamber of Commerce is fully supportive of Iowa’s Healthiest State Initiative and Sioux City’s aggressive pursuit to be identified as a Blue Zones demonstration community.  One key to being selected as a Blue Zones community will be our overall  citizens’ response to signing up individuals to participate in this initiative.

Every Siouxland Chamber of Commerce member organization that encourages their employees and friends to sign up by forwarding the email on this same topic, will be eligible for free tickets to attend a Sioux City Bandits home football game at the Tyson Events Center.  Just let Mary Koster mkoster@siouxlandchamber.com know you did so and we’ll enter your company / organization into the drawing.  The educational and health care communities have helped lead this effort and now we need our local business community to step-up.  We need individual citizens to sign-up representing residential or business zip codes 51101, -02, -03, -04, -05, -06, -08, -09, and 51111.  Just click on the following link and sign up as soon as possible, but preferably no later than Wednesday, April 18, at noon! http://www.bluezonesproject.com/users/sign_up/

Sioux City is presently in 7^th place out of 11 finalist communities and we need a big push and your help to catapult Sioux City toward the top of the list!  To track Sioux City’s progress, please visit the following internet link which takes you to an Iowa community scoreboard and thank you for signing up!  http://www.bluezonesproject.com/scoreboard
