Chamber of Commerce
On March 22, 1920, a meeting was called by Mayor Clarence L. Funk for the formation and creation of a Richmond Chamber of Commerce. The following day, another meeting was held in the Club Room of the Richmond Library to elect and reject 5 individuals to serve on a Board of Directors. The five individuals that were elected were Charles Z. Harris, President; Jessie Webb, VP; Brigham Monson, Secretary and Treasurer; and Albert C. Fisher and Walstein Hendricks as Directors.
Community projects the Commerce worked on were establishing North Cache High School, developing the baseball diamonds, improving the State Highway, conducting city clean-ups, and sponsoring shows.
