Our quarterly newsletter will be mailed out to all members in early August! If you would like to advertise or promote your specials and events, contact Maureen at the chamber office. This is a great marketing opportunity with a small investment. 

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.
