As many of you know, the Chamber recently began offering its own line of specialty apparel at the Visitor Information Center in Forks. The response has been overwhelming–we can’t keep up with demand!! In response to requests from visitors, we decided to fire up an online store as part of our web site.

While you’re there, feel free to browse our complete line of specialty apparel and stickers. Where else are you going to find a $15, high-quality, 100% cotton, t-shirt with this kind of attitude?? Forks Bites! indeed . . .
The Forks Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce its annual scholarships for Forks High School or Quileute Tribal School graduates. This year, the Chamber is able to increase the amount of its award by a whopping 400%. This came about because of the Chamber Board of Directors’ community-minded decision to devote profits from the sale of Spartans gear sold at the Chamber’s Online Store and its Visitor Center Store to scholarships.
This year the Chamber will award two separate $1000 scholarships! Additional funds from the sale of Spartans products have been earmarked for future years. The application will be part of the regular procedure local seniors are familiar with. Successful applicants will show evidence of academic achievement, community involvement and an interest in business–particularly business activities based here in the West End.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the cause by buying Spartan t-shirts, hoodies and other products from the Forks Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber is delighted to have funds available to assist local youth meet their goals!
