All were welcome at the first Chamber Community Chow, a free event serving up food and fellowship, which Pierce County Chamber of Commerce Director Christi Pitts hopes will become an ongoing tradition for years to come. Following the food, there was a community lighting of candles, the glow of each flickering flame joined by others as the light spread from person to person. Pitts challenged all those present to “be the light” of their community. Pictured above, the hands of Rachael Hewett (right) help pass the flame of her candle to that of Layla Justice.
