A Message from our Membership Director Deborah Swan

As we LEAP into February 2024, we have so much to look forward to this year - opportunity awaits!

 

“Save the Date” for the New Member Opportunity Mixer, March 26th, when we welcome our newest members for this learning and networking event! Look for the official announcement in the March Newsletter!

 

Opportunity #1 – Be the first to call the Chamber and sign up to Sponsor the New Member Opportunity Mixer on March 26th! How it works: You choose between having the Chamber staff provide all the refreshments and set up for a $350 sponsor fee or your company can provide the food and beverage along with set up for the event. Sponsors will benefit from hanging a company banner on the Chamber Porch railing the week of the event! Your company logo will be on the mailed invitations as well as in the next newsletter announcement, and we are adding a bonus of a 2-month Banner AD for your company in the March and April Newsletter! 

 

Opportunity #2- Do you have a Member To Member Deal in your on-line listing? All deals expired at the end of the year and have been extended to the end of February - you must update/create and approve your deal to be reinstated!  This is a great perk for everyone, and we are making sure the deal listed for your company is approved by you and will be honored when another member asks to use it. This opportunity allows you to offer incentives for your current and new customers, who are fellow chamber members and valuable business connections!

 

Opportunity #3 - Share the Love this month and all year!!! Share your best swag with the SRACC and you will be a part of the Welcome Wagon Club! The swag you bring to the chamber is placed into our Chamber logo reusable bag and presented to new members when they join. Do you remember what was inside your welcome bag when you joined? I bet it made a lasting impression on you… what a great way to introduce yourself!

 

What will you do with the extra day this month? Leap on a new opportunity and bring success to your business and life!

Marc Gingras - Realtor

Trustworthy, Professional, Knowledgeable. Real Estate is my Job and I so look forward to helping my clients in Indian River County, Brevard County, and the Treasure Coast to buy or sell their properties.

           Raised in Vermont on a large family dairy farm, it instilled in me a work ethic that most jobs are not 9 to 5. My parents gave me a passion for studying and understanding the field of work that I choose to pursue. Using that knowledge along with new technology has benefited my family and my clients. My parents also instilled a belief in giving back to your community and paying it forward, hence my Rotary Club and foundation support.

For many years, I have put my client's needs first, grown my knowledge of Indian River County and Brevard County, and volunteered my time to local organizations like Rotary and The Sebastian Clambake Foundation. This type of dedication and involvement will be beneficial to anyone looking to sell their property or buy their dream home. For over 30 years I’ve been involved with marketing and will use those skills to help you in your home search journey.

Now as my Sebastian Rotary Club Foundation president, I meet and help more people than I could ever have imagined. I am truly blessed to have a wonderful wife, 2 sons, an incredible daughter-in-law and 2 amazing grandchildren. All this and a great company to work with, Coldwell Banker Paradise.

You can contact me on my cell phone at 772-321-3916 anytime.
