REGARDING:
“Hollywood actors are all make believe.”

This is true. And some do it better than others. There is no surplus of the better ones.

Hollywood actors are all make believe. What we see on the screen is not real. It’s all pretend and nothing is real. These people may be great actors but that does not make them great people.

Just like living in Century does not make you qualified to be on the Century Town Council. Maybe the council members are bad actors in this process?

REGARDING:
“Century needs a Chamber of Commerce like Hollywood needs another actor!”

I don’t normally get involved in what my beloved Century is doing lately other than for the entertainment value, but that statement bears consideration.

Does Hollywood need another actor? You might think it doesn’t, but from some movies, you can see there is room for some more GOOD actors. Some get to be good through lots and lots of practice. Others just shine from the start. Harrison Ford, Tyne Daley, Will Smith, Clint Eastwood, Sandra Bullock, Dustin Hoffman, Robert Duvall, Kathryn Hepburn, Tom Hanks, James Stewart, John Candy, Gene Hackman, Shirley Temple, James Earl Jones,…

Notice many of these have died or aged out. They need to be replaced.

How this would apply to the Century Chamber of Commerce should be obvious: We need Sandra Bullock, Gene Hackman, and James Earl Jones to move to town and join.

The goal of any Chamber is to help to further the interests of small businesses in a local area. The activities can range from hosting events, to lobbying local representatives to charitable works for the betterment of the community.
So, is the Chamber doing any of these things? If not, what good are they?

@Just a Nobody I actually miss having a good BarB Q place around here and had no problem with the butts. I think someone should do it more often because they were good hot and tasty. I’m not here to make a negative statement but have a question. Shouldnt the city manager and mayor be the ones to present the bids or estimates to the council for approval? Maybe thats the issue everyone else has with this.

That’s not unusual.
People ask all the time if the Century Council is even worthwhile.

Resident on July 30th, 2021 1:01 pm,

I am confused. I thought you were making comments about the Century Town Council and how they run the town of Century. Does the Century Area Chamber of Commerce really do all that stuff? Where could they have learned how to do all that corruption???

People, let’s please get the facts prior to making false, misleading statements! Mr. Gomez, why are you questioning the value of the Century Area Chamber of Commerce when the budget request was in reference to the lack of maintenance on a town-owned building? A budget request is an estimate, not an authorization to proceed. Mr. Gomez turned a budget request for maintenance on a town-owned building into a personal attack on the Century Chamber. This is another example of Mr. Gomez’s inappropriate comments.

It appears that some of the comments posted indicate that the Chamber just pulled a dollar figure out of thin air for the cost of repairs. A licensed, certified building commercial contractor inspected the building and provided the estimate for the repairs.

Mr. Gomez, how many Chamber meetings have you attended? The purpose of the Chamber is NOT TO RECRUIT BUSINESSES–recruitment is handled through the County’s designated economic development agency.

To the resident who referenced the need for more Boston butts, please note that members of the Chamber spent hours cooking the Boston butts and preparing barbeque pork lunches and sold them in order to provide ALL of the proceeds as a fundraiser to a Century resident who was in dire need.
