Last night at Great Wolf Lodge, the Chamber celebrated excellence while honoring Linda Wischnewsky as the 2024 Citizen of the Year.

Last night, we hosted our Annual Gala: Boot’s & Bling, at Great Wolf Lodge Webster, TX This year, we were excited to honor all the great work that has been done. We started off the night by announcing our 2024 Citizen of the Year, Linda Wischnewsky. Anyone who knows Linda will tell you how deserving she is of this award and we are so excited for her!

This special night also allows us the opportunity to honor our Board of Directors, and all the work they do for us over their terms. We were able to hear remarks from our outgoing chairman, Kicker Cardenas of Kicker Insures Me, as well as our incoming chairman, Everett Smith of Kaneka North America.

Another huge part of the program was announcing our 2025 IMPACT Pasadena cohort. As of today, we have over 55 local leaders who have graduated from this program. We are excited to see all the amazing things the new cohort will accomplish.

We want to sincerely thank all of our members for their continued investment into the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce. Because of your partnership, we are able to continue the good work we do each year, and help make Pasadena the greatest city on earth!

The Chamber morns Marie Flickinger who lit up our community with her unwavering spirit, turning challenges into opportunities and leaving an indelible mark on education.

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Marie Flickinger, a community advocate for our region for decades. She certainly leaves behind a legacy of passion and service for education and will be missed. Our prayers are with the entire family and we will share service arrangements as we have them.
Today, we lost a true champion for San Jacinto College. Marie Flickinger served this institution and its students with heart and compassion for nearly 30 years. She was a fierce advocate for student success and worked tirelessly alongside the College and her fellow Board members to remove barriers for students to earn their higher education credentials. She was passionate about the work being done at San Jacinto College; her dedication to San Jacinto College will leave a legacy.
Our hearts are with her husband, David, her sons, Fred and Davey, and the entire Flickinger family.

Pastor Orlin McClain crafted a legacy of love and kindness, inspiring all who visited The Heritage Coffee House to cherish life’s simple pleasures.

Pasadena Friends:
We are so saddened by the passing of Pastor Orlin McClain. We just celebrated the opening of his amazing business, The Heritage Coffee House, a few weeks ago. Orlin was an amazing man. At his grand opening, I remember him showing us the back room of his business, which use to be the house he grew up in. His wife walked in and said she loved to go in there and smell the coffee and the wood that Orlin had back there. He built everything in that shop with his own two hands. He was very kind, and he loved his family, that was something you could tell instantly.

We have seen that The Heritage Coffee House will be opening back up. Please like the page and lets continue to show our love and support to the business that he just opened, and loved so dearly!

Viewing and funeral information is below. Let’s please keep his wife, children, grandchildren, family and the many, many friends who loved and adored him in our prayers.

Rest in peace Pastor Orlin, your Pasadena Family will never forget you!
