MOKENA, IL — The Mokena Chamber of Commerce is celebrating its 60th anniversary on Saturday. The chamber was first created in 1961, Executive Director Melissa Fedora told Patch. "In 1961, we had 51 members and the annual dues were $20," Fedora said. Now, the Chamber has just under 400 members, and its $195 for a standard membership. Normally, the Chamber would hold several gatherings to celebrate its anniversary, but that's not possible due to the coronavirus pandemic. Instead, the Chamber asked for members and others to share notes why they love the chamber, their favorite Chamber memory, their favorite Chamber event, photos from meetings or events, or a testimonial on how the Chamber helped their business. The Chamber will create a montage with the memories and share it on their website, Facebook and Youtube.
