(Atlantic, Iowa) – The Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce and Cass Health are now accepting nominations for the 2022 Angel(s) of Christmas. The Angel of Christmas is a tradition in Atlantic recognizing and thanking area residents who symbolize the true meaning of the season. Angels exemplify the true holiday spirit all year long – putting others first, spreading generosity and sharing the holiday spirit with everyone they meet. “Sometimes we forget the true meaning of the season and I think celebrating people who put others first and spread holiday cheer all year long deserve to be recognized,” Bailey Smith, Executive Director at the Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce said.

In 2021, Erich & Tammy Wickman were named Angels of Christmas. The Wickman’s were awarded for their generous work with organizations such as the Atlantic Police Department Community Chartable Organization, Atlantic Community Schools- Band and Education Department, and many other organizations. Please nominate the Christmas Angel you know to the Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce by November 30th. Nominate by submitting brief comments about this person to the Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce or email chamber@atlanticiowa.com. You can find a nomination form on www.atlanticiowa.com.
