Yorba Linda Chamber reports membership gains; Blue Scoop Creamery named business of the quarter
Summary
The city honored 22 Young Civic Leaders, heard a quarterly Chamber of Commerce report showing 266 members and $124,255 exchanged at networking lunches, and recognized Blue Scoop Creamery as business of the quarter; owners described six years of local service and more than $60,000 donated to community causes.
The Yorba Linda City Council used the April 13 meeting for several community recognitions and updates from the local business community.
Council recognized 22 recent graduates of the Young Civic Leaders Academy, a six‑week nonpartisan program started by Councilwoman Tara Campbell to teach high school students about municipal government. Council members presented certificates from several state and federal offices and encouraged students to stay involved.
Susan Won Ross, chief executive officer of the Yorba Linda Chamber of Commerce, gave a first‑quarter report noting membership of 266 and quarterly retention around 90%. She said networking lunches regularly draw 30–40 attendees and reported a quarter exchange figure of $124,255 at those meetings. Upcoming Chamber events include a job fair on June 4 at the Yorba Linda Public Library and the Civic Bee on April 30 at the Nixon Library.
The council also recognized Blue Scoop Creamery as the city’s business of the quarter. Owner Kim said Blue Scoop opened six years ago, has grown to a second storefront in Brea and a staff of just under 30, and has given more than $60,000 back to the community through fundraising and donations. “We are all very grateful to be recognized in this way,” Kim said.
Council presented several proclamations during the meeting, including an annual recognition for the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit and a proclamation declaring the last Saturday in April as Love Yorba Linda Day to promote community volunteer projects.
