February 17, 2026 ~ Chamber eBlast

Hello Smithville Chamber Members and Friends,

I hope everyone enjoyed an extended three-day President’s Day weekend and had a chance to relax and recharge!

I also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2026 Chamber Annual Banquet What a wonderful evening of fun, celebration, and community spirit! It was truly special to gather together and recognize the people and businesses that help Smithville shine.

A heartfelt thank you as well to our SACoC Board of Directors for their hard work behind the scenes and to our generous event sponsors for making the evening possible:

Title Sponsor: Frontier Bank, Groovy Table Sponsors: Bluebonnet Electric Co-Op, First National Bank, MVBA Attorneys at Law, Roscoe Bank Cornerstone Home Lending, Smithville

Hospital Authority, Smithville ISD, The Prairie Subdivision & Calbri Logistics LLC, Vera Bank, Out of Sight Sponsor: Matise Mortgage Team, and What's Shakin' Bacon

Sponsor: Sundance Expressions Marketing.

Looking ahead, be sure to mark your calendars for our February Chamber Mixer on Thursday, February 19th (location to be announced). Mixers are always a fantastic way to connect, build relationships, and welcome new faces into our Chamber family.

March is already shaping up to be a busy and exciting month! We’ll host our first Coffee Chat of the Year, enjoy a Mixer hosted by American Legion Post 180, and support Keep Smithville Beautiful’s Spring Super Sweep.

There’s so much happening and we encourage all members to add your events to the Chamber Event Calendar so our community can stay informed. If you need assistance, resources, or support, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at the Chamber.

Thank you for being such an active and supportive part of the Smithville community. We truly appreciate you and look forward to celebrating and connecting together with you!

With gratitude, Kathy Danielson

Executive Director

Small Business Tip of the Month

Build Relationships, Not Just Sales

February is the perfect time to focus on connection. Take a moment this month to reach out to customers, clients, and partners with a simple check-in, thank-you, or personal note. Strong relationships build trust, encourage repeat business, and turn customers into loyal advocates—

long after a transaction is complete.

Small, genuine touches can make a big impact.

The Chamber is excited to help promote our business members events! To have your events, sales, specials, and more included in our monthly Chamber Newsletter, simply email us at info@smithvilletx.org. Our newsletter is sent to all members and non-members, and the details may also be shared across our social media platforms.

Let's get the word out and support each other!

Also, be sure to add your events to the Smithville Area Chamber of Commerce event calendar on our website. If you need assistance, contact us at 512-237-2313 or chamber@smithvilletx.org.
