On National Flag Day, the Batavia Riverwalk will glow with 1,777 luminarias, representing the year the Continental Congress first adopted our national flag. Batavia schoolchildren are decorating the luminaria as part of the effort to involve all ages in Batavia's Flag Day 100th Anniversary Celebration. The party begins at 7 p.m. and will feature patriotic music performed by the Air National Guard Band of the Midwest and the Batavia Patriotic Pop-Up Chorus. Winners of an essay contest, What the American Flag Means to Me, will read their essays. Plans for a Flag Day Memorial to be built in Batavia will also be revealed to the public for the first time. Dr. Bernard Cigrand was a Batavia resident, often called the "Father of Flag Day."

I am so thankful that a few of my fellow Batavian’s recommended the Batavia Chamber of Commerce to me. Since I joined I feel as though I have been blessed with a second family with all the support and motivation I get from them on a regular basis. Margaret, Patti and Shirley are the most amazing women. They have great passion for business and helping people. I truly feel they care about my business on a personal level and want to see it grow and succeed as much as I do! They have gone the extra mile to get my name and my business name out there and introduce me to the business community. The Chamber has so many opportunities available that have helped my business both grow and problem solve such as the free monthly Networking It events. I highly recommend the Batavia Chamber of Commerce to all business professionals.
