Local Area Chamber Maps!

 
It is time to reorder our maps which makes it time for you to consider being one of the highlighted businesses on the area map. To bring the price of the maps to a reasonable cost, we order enough maps to last 2-3 years. So consider this a minimum of a 2 year investment as you plan your marketing dollars.

E&M Consulting will be calling to introduce you to the advertising opportunity. They professionally handle all of the details. Don't miss the chance to showcase your business to the 100's of visitors that stop in the Chamber office as well as our City Halls, who also
distribute these maps. Advertising space is limited so I encourage you to act quickly when the representative calls. 2-3 year exposure - Most sought after item - Win Win!

Rethink Recycling


RECYCLING PAPER TOWELS (AND OTHER ORGANIC WASTE)
Did you know that used paper towels can be recycled? Not in your regular single-sort recycling bin, but through organics recycling, otherwise known as commercial composting. In fact, all sorts of things can go into organics recycling – greasy pizza boxes, used napkins, wax cheese rinds, and even shells and bones! Basically, if it was once alive, chances are it can be recycled through a commercial composting service. Click HERE for more information!
