We are proud to be a local business in the Ellis community!

2020 has been a whirlwind of changes, cancellations, postponements and a variety of other difficulties for Ellis businesses, individuals and community organizations. Although it took some flexibility and quick thinking on your part, you made the most of the hand we were dealt and made it through!

We say thank you to all 70 Chamber members in 2020 for your support and patience, and to all the Ellis residents who remained intential about supporting local. With your support we continued to bring people to Ellis to shop and support local businesses and organizations. We have big dreams and high hopes for the future of the Ellis Chamber of Commerce and its membership.

Thank you to the members who continue to see the value in their Chamber membership and have already made the commitment to renew their 2021 membership. We know more of you will be joining us and we are excited to add you to the list.

GBT's January Employee Spotlight: Jamie Siruta

Meet Jamie, our GBT Combination Technician of 11 years who primarily serves the Ransom/Utica/Ness City area.

To Jamie, work is much more than "getting the job done." His favorite part about the job is building personal relationships with the customers he serves - and if you know him, you know this to be true.

We would like to wish all of our GBT customers a Merry Christmas! All of our offices will be closed today to celebrate. We hope you have a wonderful holiday spent with family and friends!

A tradition around here is for employees to make donations to the Rush County Food Bank in exchange for a jeans day. Here’s a few of our crew decked in their denim! 👖

This year, probably more than ever, the true meaning of the season is evident.

- To give up one's self and put others first.

- To have a heart full of gratitude for what you do have.

So we are challenging ourselves and encouraging you to go out of your way to put others first. Donate to your local food bank, shovel snow from your neighbor's yard, send a Christmas card to someone who might be alone this season. Whatever it looks like for you - fill your hearts with selflessness and gratitude.

Merry Christmas, friends. ... See more
