About the New Haven Chamber of Commerce
SPOTLIGHT MEMBER
New Haven MO Lions Club
October Member Spotlight is on the New Haven MO Lions Club
This month, we’re proud to shine our Chamber Spotlight on the New Haven Lions Club, a group of neighbors who quietly and consistently put service into action. From supporting local youth and leadership opportunities to volunteering, hosting fundraisers, and lending a hand where it’s needed, the Lions have a long tradition of giving back to New Haven and the surrounding community.
Fun Fact: The New Haven Lions Club works with the city to provide, put up and take down the Holy Family display at the Hwy 100 water tower and all of our city-wide Christmas lights that line the streets making the holiday season even more magical.
Their work is a wonderful reminder of what can happen when people come together with a shared desire to serve others. We are grateful for the time, energy, and heart the New Haven Lions Club and its members continue to invest in making our community stronger!

Being Chamber President isn’t about holding a title ~ it is about building connections, strenthening local business, and hleping a community grow together.
Jessica Armstrong
President, New Haven Chamber of Commerce
“I grew up in a small town and I remember my parents volunteering for events in town. I have worked in smaller towns and can see the need for help with nonprofit events so I have followed in their footsteps and like to be involved with organizations like the Chamber. Even though I am retired, I still like to be active in organiztions.”
Debbie Winters, Treasurer
Board Member
“For me, being a part of the Chamber is not just about being part of a small town community organization. It gives me the opportunity to serve the community I live and work in in ways that I can’t do on my own. It is not only being involved in community events and volunteering time, it is networking with the other amazing members and getting to know their businesses as well. Being part of the Chamber is helping grow and strengthen my roots in New Haven.”
Lydia Placht, Secretary
Board Member
“What made me want to join the Chamber of
Commerce of New Haven? First, and foremost, I love the city of New Haven and its people. I want to see New Haven flourish and the residents to be blessed. With my
business background, as well as serving on multiple steering committees, the Chamber seemed the best way to be involved in our community. It has been wonderful to
see how the city has blossomed with an eclectic mix of businesses, and increased tourism. New Haven is truly a jewel on the river.
