Welcoming Pioneer Wellness to their *new location* in Maupin!
Did you hear the news that the old medical building at Deschutes Rim Health Clinic is being transformed into a new Health & Wellness Campus? We shared about this exciting development in last month's newsletter. Pioneer Wellness, which has been offering chiropractic care and acupuncture in Tygh Valley since 2018, has moved their operations to Maupin! Join us on Thursday, January 19th for a welcome party during our quarterly Business After Hours event. Husband and wife team, Andrew & Shamsa Houck will be giving a presentation about their wellness services and showing off the new clinic. There will also be appetizers and non-alcoholic drinks catered for your enjoyment. Chamber members and non-members welcome.
The address for Pioneer Wellness is: 1605 George Jackson Rd. Maupin

Local Business Directories

We are currently designing a local business directory that will be printed and distributed to all of our lodging businesses in South Wasco County. We know that our overnight guests already receive some local information, but we are excited to create a more comprehensive guide showcasing our local businesses, services, sites & attractions, and even share some of the history of our region. We are limiting business descriptions to 100 words or less. Many of you have descriptions already on our website directory, but if you'd like to provide new or different information for this project, please send us an email with "Business Directory" in the subject line. Listings are free. If you would like additional exposure, we will be selling advertising spaces. This would be a business card sized advertisement of your choice, printed in color and included in the appendix of the directory. We will also have a limited number of banner images available, at the top of each page (see draft sample below). The directories are currently in design with printing and distribution to happen in the Spring, ahead of our tourist season. We will share more about this project and the details of the ads next month.
New FB Group for MACC Members
In case you missed our previous announcement, we invite you to join our new FB Group for members of the Maupin Area Chamber of Commerce. This is a forum for you to let fellow businesses (and MACC staff) know about any news, events, job openings or announcements you may have. Or maybe you have an idea and want feedback from other business owners - we invite you to use this space as you wish and hope that it helps our business community feel more connected. Scan the QR code to join!
Are you hiring? We are sorry to get this newsletter out past the Job Fair registration deadline, but there may still be spaces available!
