CHAIR MESSAGE
Christopher Pellico, Chair

Dear Fellow Chamber Members,

This month I am not writing to you as the Chairman or even a fellow chamber member, I am writing to you as a neighbor, a friend and a “Lisle area family member.” While we have all been asked by our government leaders to practice social distancing, now more than ever we need to come together to support each other during these difficult times. Certainly, we are challenged to think about how we can come together but let’s start with a common goal – to ensure our chamber member businesses remain strong.

To start driving towards this common goal I believe we need to think differently . As the community counts on us to provide goods and services, albeit through different means – delivery, pick-up, etc. – we must count on each other. Within our chamber we have a wide variety of businesses and I would encourage the members to look at potential ways to team together – restaurants using advertising/media businesses for any print materials or any business use local industrial supply and service businesses for cleaning needs. I am confident there are many more opportunities for our members to work together. I am confident that if we think differently and work together as a team then we will remain strong.

The very best in all of us will shine through and we will get through this TOGETHER! To close, I hope you and your families are safe and healthy.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MESSAGE
Jill Eidukas, Executive Director
Dear Members,

These are challenging times for businesses, families and community. We thank our essential business owners for staying open, we thank our police and fire departments for always being there when we need them. We thank medical staff putting their lives on the line for others. We thank our teachers for creating new and safe learning platforms. We thank the community that is not stuck at home but you are safe at home.

The Lisle Area Chamber of Commerce has been communicating with our Members through E-blasts, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. We have posted new content about opportunities for our businesses from Federal, State and Small Business Association (SBA) programs on our website so check there for updates. Many of our restaurant and retail businesses have curb-side pick-up, delivery and online gift cards available. We have postponed all events until further notice, but that doesn’t mean we can’t help showcase your business. Please email us a social media ad. We also would like you to send us short video from your business about your business. The short video could be an online “how-to” cook, paint, network or any specialty you can offer. We can link to your website from this video. Our LINCT committee has already had one virtual meeting. Watch your e-mails for next LINCT virtual meeting. 

So, now for the time being we will continue to help you promote your businesses remotely. Remember to check out our Member-to-Member discounts page on our website. If you would like us to add your business please let us know.

Stay safe and healthy,
