The Chamber is going Paperless
The Midway Chamber of Commerce is switching to electronic billing beginning
August 1st!
What does this mean? I am happy you asked:
- Invoices will be generated as usual, but delivered to your inbox as opposed to your mail box
- Making a payment is easy! You can pay online by choosing "click here" found at the bottom of your email, follow the directions located at the bottom of your invoice which will be attached to your email, call the office with your credit card information or send us a check via USPS
- If you prefer billing to go to a specific person within your organization, please provide that information to us
- Still need paper billing? Give us a call and let us know
- We will save money through reducing our paper, printing and postage needs, all while being a bit greener.
We appreciate your help as we make this transition. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call the chamber office at 651-646-2636.
