MESSAGE FROM YOUR PRESIDENT/CEO

Dear Chamber Members,

We are now in our holiday tri-fecta with Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. We are exploring a couple new programs and hope to have at least one of them out by mid November. We are considering doing a “Chamber Bucks” program where businesses or consumers can purchase vouchers to use at participating merchants. Merchants would accept the vouchers as currency and then they redeem them with the chamber for reimbursement. The other program we are looking into is a “Christmas Crawl” this would be an opportunity for shoppers to patronize businesses to earn punches or stamps on a card that they turn in for a grand prize. It is a shop local program and since we aren’t able to do large events, this allows people to participate in a flexible time range. We continue to work out the details, but stay tuned as we will reach out to our membership for participation in these once we have everything finalized.

This year’s annual meeting will be virtual on October 20^th from 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm. See all the details in the newsletter. We are moving forward to have our Farm Family Brunch on December 5^th and in the event we are not able to hold the event in person, we have a back up plan to still honor our farm families and sponsors that make it all possible. We are going to push out our business expo into the 2^nd quarter of 2021 in hopes that we can hold our traditional event in person. Stay tuned for more details on these events.

As soon as we are able, we will be back with our Business After Hours. We will double up on these events each month to have an opportunity to highlight the hosts that had to postpone.

COVID numbers are rising across the country, so please continue to keep your circle small, watch your distance, wash your hands and wear a mask when in public places. We want to continue to get all businesses open without restrictions. Remember that traditional Halloween Trick-Or-Treating is discouraged, instead we ask our residents to participate in the drive thru Halloween event downtown. Details are provided in this newsletter.

Be well!
