From Survival to Sustainability: Leading Your Business from a Place of Wholeness
Leading an organization and running a small business often means carrying much more than anyone sees—pressure, uncertainty, responsibility, and the quiet weight of always being “on.” From Survival to Sustainability: Leading Your Business from a Place of Wholeness is a lunch-and-learn designed specifically for OC Chamber member merchants and small business owners who want to move beyond constant hustle and into a healthier, more grounded way of leading.
Together, we’ll explore how anxiety shows up in business ownership, why balance can feel so elusive, and how leading authentically—from the inside out—creates sustainability not just for your business, but for you as a human being.

In the last couple of years, local volunteers have been planting 15,000 tulip bulbs in Windmill Park in downtown Orange City.
This year a few new things will be tried. Nora Mulder and John Buntsma, lead volunteers, have watched the beds get better each year.
“Our goal is to make next spring’s tulips look the best ever,” they said.
Up to a dozen volunteers have helped with planting the bulbs in the past. There is room for even more volunteers. Plans for this year are to plant bulbs starting at 1pm & early evening on Oct. 24 and the morning of Oct. 25 (8:30 am start time). All the bulbs will find a home in their winter nests in just a few hours.
Rain Dates: October 31st & November 1st
So, what’s the secret. Come to the park to find out on our planting dates. Be prepared to join a fun group of volunteers. Bring a garden trowel and your friends along
