Fairfield Area Chamber of Commerce Welcomes New High School Intern

The Fairfield Area Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the addition of Archer Kreuter as its FIRST high school intern.

Archer, a senior at Fairfield High School, is active in both golf and baseball. Following graduation, he plans to pursue a degree in business.

In his role at the Chamber, Archer will be taking on many of the responsibilities previously managed by the summer intern, including assisting with communications, events, and day-to-day office tasks. Through this experience, he is gaining valuable insight into how a Chamber of Commerce supports local businesses and the Fairfield community.

“High school internships give students the chance to build real-world skills and learn about opportunities right here in Fairfield,” said Mendy McAdams, Executive Director of the Fairfield Area Chamber of Commerce. “We’re excited to have Archer on board and look forward to the energy and ideas he brings.”

The Chamber encourages community members and businesses to join in welcoming Archer to his new role.

Mark your calendars for Tuesday, September 10, from 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM, when Addington Place of Fairfield invites the community to a special Lunch for a Cause Drive-Thru Event. For just $10 per person, guests can enjoy a freshly prepared meal while supporting a meaningful local initiative.

The lunch plate features a Turkey & Cranberry Wrap and/or Autumn Pasta Salad, topped off with a Caramel Apple Cup for dessert, perfect for an early taste of fall flavors. Meals are provided in partnership with Quantum Mentors: Cultivating Resilience, Creativity, and Wisdom.

This event is more than a meal, it’s an opportunity to give back. Every purchase directly supports Addington Place’s ongoing commitment to Fairfield and its residents.

A Legacy of Care and Community

For more than 20 years, Addington Place of Fairfield has been more than an assisted living community. It’s a place where compassion, purpose, and connections thrive. Residents are empowered to live meaningful lives, families find peace of mind, and the dedicated team ensures each day is filled with care and purpose.

The staff at Addington Place exemplify resilience and commitment. Even in times of challenge, like the February 2025 water pipe break that temporarily displaced residents, the team’s unwavering dedication to safety, comfort, and community shone brightly. Their efforts have earned them numerous honors, including the 2024 Jefferson County Reader’s Choice Award for Best in Senior Living and the National Bronze Quality Award from the American Health Care Association.

Why This Event Matters

Addington Place has always looked beyond its walls to support Fairfield. Hosting events like Lunch for a Cause reflects their belief that caring for a community means engaging with it; building connections, supporting local initiatives, and creating opportunities to come together.

By swinging through the drive-thru on September 10, you’re not just picking up lunch, you’re fueling a mission of compassion, resilience, and community spirit.
