The chamber understands it’s made up of small businesses wants to provide all the resources you need to run a successful business on a local, state and federal level The chamber works hard to represent the local business community, but as a non-profit 501(c)6 organization, the chamber relies on members and board of directors to partner with us to serve businesses and our community as a whole! Many people wonder what it is the Chamber of Commerce is exactly. By definition, a chamber of commerce is a local organization of businesses whose goal is to further the interests of businesses. Business owners in towns and cities form these local societies to advocate on behalf of the business community. Local Chambers work on the local level to bring the business community together to develop strong local networks, which can result in a business-to-business exchange. In most cases, local Chambers work with their local government, such as their mayor, their city council and local representatives to develop pro-business initiatives. If interested, nominate yourself or someone that you think would be vital to aiding our business community. For information, contact The Chamber 775-423-2544 or email info@fallonchamber.com.

Seniors will receive seven tickets each for field seating (there is no limit to the number of guests in the stands) provided all of their fees have been paid. Only students will receive the tickets, and they will not be released to anyone else. Seniors will receive two parking passes for their family members. Those passes will give them access to the student parking lot, Lahontan Elementary parking lot, and the school's soccer field parking lot. There will be overflow parking (no passes required) on Miners Road (Bus transportation to and from Miners Road will be provided from 5:30-7 p.m. and again from 9-10 p.m.). There will also be golf carts to transport people from our parking lots to the field, if needed.

Students will receive their official diploma following the ceremony. Staff will be in the auxiliary gym lobby to distribute the diplomas and collect any academic regalia that needs to be returned. Grad Night follows the graduation at the Coconut Bowl in Sparks. There will be unlimited food, mini golf, laser tag, arcade games, a photobooth, bowling and go karts! Every senior who attends will receive a gift. Students who did not receive tickets should check with the high-school office.

To be eligible for the second booster, one must have completed the primary three-dose vaccine series. Based on emerging data, the CDC indicates a second booster dose may increase protection levels for higher-risk individuals. Those eligible to receive the recommended additional mRNA (both Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines) booster dose include the following: • Certain immunocompromised individuals, including individuals 12 years and older who are moderately or severely immunocompromised and are four months out from their first booster; • Individuals age 50 and older who received an initial booster dose at least four months ago who are not moderately or severely immunocompromised; • Adults (18-49 years old) who received a primary vaccine and booster dose of Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen COVID-19 vaccine at least four months ago. All three vaccines are available at all Churchill County vaccine clinics. Vaccines are offered at the Miner’s Road public health site on Monday mornings, Tuesday afternoons and Thursday mornings and at the William N. Pennington Life Center on Wednesdays. Meningococcal vaccines The Nevada Legislature has passed a NEW LAW - if your student is an incoming senior, they must have the meningococcal vaccine (MCV4) BEFORE they can start school in the fall. This means that every single current 11th grader has to have this vaccine before they can start 12th grade. This does not apply to any other grade. Parents can get this vaccine (MCV4) at their doctor's office, pharmacy, or the community health nurse (the appointments for the community health nurse must be scheduled in advance as hours are limited). Once your child receives the vaccine, please notify CCHS school nurse Adonna Crowley at crowleya@churchillcsd.com or call her at 775-423-2181 ext. 4124 with the date the vaccine was given. For information contact Adonna, or Chief School Nurse Stefanie Utz at 775-423-3463. May vaccine and testing information Churchill County continues to offer COVID vaccine and testing opportunities in May 2022 to anyone aged 5 years and older. Vaccines are offered at both the Miner’s Road Public Health Site and the William N. Pennington Life Center; testing is only offered at Miner’s Road. Please check the calendar link above for offerings on specific days in May as the schedule varies week to week. No services offered on Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays, but all three vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson) are available at all vaccine clinics. Booster shots are available to anyone 16+ who is five months out from their second dose of Pfizer or Moderna or two months out from the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Be sure to bring your vaccination card with you if seeking any dose beyond your first dose. While county public health does not have rapid tests to offer, residents may buy their own and bring it to any testing clinic and county health staff will administer the test and certify the results. PCR tests currently take about five days to get results back.
