It also assists many commu- nity organizations, includ- ing the Boys and Girls Club of Tehama County, the Kelly-Griggs Museum and the Sacramento River Discovery Center, with their programs and pro- jects. The Chamber founded and developed the Tehama Economic Development Corporation, the area's vitally important and suc- cessful economic and job development organization. The Chamber serves as the administrative arm of the Downtown Red Bluff Business Association and presents two scholarships each year to deserving Tehama County high school graduates.
