DEADLINE TO REGISTER APPROACHING!

On Wednesday, First National Bank hosted our October Business After Hours at the beautiful Bricktown Events located at 28 W. Shirley Street, Mount Union, PA 17066 with catering provided by Bricktown Kickn' Chicken!

On Thursday, we had the honor of hosting our "State of Transportation" Luncheon featuring Pennsylvania Secretary of Transportation, Mike Carroll and PennDOT District Executive for Engineering District 9-0, Vince Greenland. Secretary Carroll and Mr. Greenland provided updates on current projects, upcoming projects, funding and more vital information for the Commonwealth and Huntingdon County. Thank you Keller Engineers for sponsoring!

Following our "State of the Transportation" Luncheon on Thursday, Chamber staff took a moment to stop at the PennDOT building to honor Craig Walker who tragically passed after suffering from injuries sustained while working for PennDOT. Craig's name has sadly been added to the 91 names of those who have died in the line of duty with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. The memorial will be up for another 11 days and we encourage you to visit and reflect.

UC Fraud and UC-1099G Tax Forms

https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/tax-treatment-of-unemployment-compensation

Victim of unemployment fraud?

Criminals using stolen identities filed claims for unemployment compensation in other people's names. Because unemployment compensation is taxable, state unemployment agencies submit Forms 1099-G to individuals in whose names and Social Security numbers the unemployment compensation was paid and to the IRS. Victims of fraud who receive Forms 1099-G with inaccurate amounts of unemployment compensation in Box 1 should notify the state agencies of the inaccuracies and request corrected Forms 1099-G. The Department of Labor details www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/UIIDtheft.

Taxpayers should only report income they actually received on their tax returns. Do not report income you did not receive. The IRS offers tax guidance to victims at https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/identity-theft-and-unemployment-benefits.

More Information

Did you know........

Small businesses represent the largest segment by number of most local chamber membership rolls. Results in the research study by The Shapiro Group, Inc. and Market Street indicate the impact of local chamber membership on small businesses is very powerful. If a consumer knows a small business is a member of its local chamber, the business enjoys a 44 percent increase in its consumer favorability rating, a 51 percent increase in consumer awareness, a 57 percent increase in its local reputation and a 63 percent increase in the likelihood that consumers will patronize the business in the future.

Research indicates that chamber membership stimulates business-to-business commerce in the local community. Other businesses in town are more likely to do business with you and your company if you are a member of the local chamber. Because a major part of a small business typically comes from business-to-business services, it is essential to maintain a positive standing within the local business community.
