We can promote them on our 'Visiting the Area' page on the chamber site. Since tourism season is right around the corner, we are working with the Rend Lake Corps of Engineers and Rend Lake Adventures Newsletter to encourage lake visitors to use the chamber website as a resource. Last week, an email was set out about member-to-member discounts and daily deals, we encourage you to take advantage of this promotional opportunity. We are also looking to do a few 'one tank trips' to promote activities and locations featuring our chamber members. If you would like to be part of this, please let the office know.
