Greater Muncie Chamber of Commerce

We joined The Knapp Supply Co. Inc,. since 1874 as they celebrated their 150th Anniversary. Knapp Supply has served generations of professional contractors and homeowners with plumbing and building supplies for the last century and a half right here in our community.

Their anniversary celebration will continue until 8 p.m. tonight with food, music, and fun! Make sure to stop by to join in on the celebration and learn more about this amazing company.

We kicked off the Academy for Community Leadership this morning and could not be more excited about this group of community leaders! Jenni Marsh, President & CEO, of Heart of Indiana United Way shared her thoughts on leadership and community engagement. We can't wait to see what great things come from this year's cohort!
