Congratulations to Macros & Nutrition Bloomington on their grand opening! Although this is their first standalone location, Macros & Nutrition has already been serving the community through satellite locations at Twin Lakes Recreation Center and Iron Pit Gym. Recognizing the community’s need for a dedicated supplement and nutrition resource, they’ve created a space where individuals can learn about health, wellness, and proper nutrition. The new location also features a variety of recovery amenities designed to support healthier lifestyles. To learn more, visit macros-nutrition.com. On Friday, May 9th, 2025, The Success School, the Chamber's Foundation, held it's Reality Store® at Batchelor Middle School. The Reality Store® is a simulation that helps junior high students appreciate the ‘realities’ of life and achieve a better understanding of personal finance. In the Reality Store® simulation, junior high students pretend they are a 28-year-old starting out in their life and career. Each school year, this program is held at four local middle schools, where close to 1000 students participate. Over 150 community members volunteered to run the tables at these events this year. Volunteering for a Reality Store® is a fun way to interact with students and teach them important lessons. See the photos from the event below! As a part of the Chamber's Foundation, The Success School acts as the connection between the business and the education communities. We serve students by introducing them to many different potential career options, providing them with opportunities to interact with professionals in different fields and helping them understand that graduating from high school is crucial for future success. We also serve the business community by offering meaningful volunteer opportunities for business professionals in our career learning programs which provide workforce development services for youth.

The Exchange Club has a longstanding tradition of honoring law enforcement and firefighters. In collaboration with the Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce, donations from the event supported Back the Line Monroe County, a 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization that offers support to Monroe County's first responders and their families when tragedy strikes. Back the Line offers immediate monetary and emotional support to the surviving families of a fallen or disabled Monroe County first responder. Back the Line actively supports first responders’ mental health and morale during the year by providing access to peer support, chaplain services, social workers, grief counseling, and incident debriefings. The Exchange Club's tradition of honoring law enforcement and firefighters stands as a cornerstone of its mission, celebrating the unwavering commitment and courage of those who ensure public safety and well-being. The annual recognition acts as a profound acknowledgment of the bravery, sacrifice, and service exhibited by these individuals. It underscores the community's appreciation and respect for their roles, thereby strengthening the bond between first responders and the communities they serve.
