The Osceola Community Chamber of Commerce began a program this year offering the Osceola graduating class of 2012 the opportunity to receive a Hewlett Packard NC6400 Laptop computer. The Chamber's vision was to provide a laptop for every graduating senior who is continuing their education through college courses. Three computers were purchased through Project Prom and given away the night of the prom. An additions 15 students applied for the laptop program by filling out an application and completing an essay explaining why the laptop program benefits them as a student; in addition to how they plan to utilize this benefit for continuing their education in the field of their choice.

Through generous support from the community through donations, every student who applied for a laptop will receive a laptop once they are able to provide a class schedule. This is a total of 18 students that will receive a laptop and they will be headed to 9 different colleges!  Students have already begun to receive their laptops!

The Chamber would like to thank everyone who donated to this program. If you would like to donate a computer please visit our Laptop Page for more information.

The Osceola Community Chamber of Commerce welcomed the BMW Driving Club to member Toad Suck Grill in Iconium. The "Road Monkeys" from Huston - about 20 people and a dozen cars - drove up from Texas and stopped for a tasty BBQ lunch at the Toad Suck Grill, as well as a brief  historical talk from owner Warren Love. The group then headed up to Iowa and eventually to Wisconsin, where they participate in a national gathering and races.
