Chamber seminar to shows how to
tighten budget
WEBSTER — Regardless of your product
or service, sales are key. Making new ones
and retaining existing ones is critical to the
success of a business.
The Webster Dudley Oxford Chamber of
Commerce will hold another presentation in
their Seminar Series Thursday, Feb. 26, when
they present “Tighten Your Budget with
eMarketing Tools” with guest speaker Shari
Worthington, president of Telesian
Technology, Inc.
The program will take place from 12 to 2
p.m. A light lunch and refreshments will be
served. The event will be held at Colonial
Restaurant, 290 Thompson Rd., in Webster.
Registration is required for this program.
This event is $15 for Chamber members and
non-members are welcome for a nominal fee
of $20. Participants registering at the door
will be charged an additional $5.
About the Program: The Internet has revolutionized
communications and now provides
extraordinarily cost-effective tools for
reaching customers, prospects, and partners.
But what tools are right? A Web site is the
core of an e-marketing program and can be
supplemented with a variety of other tools (enewsletters,
natural search optimization, pay
per click advertising, e-commerce).
This seminar will help participants determine
how much time, effort, and money you
should invest in an e-marketing program.
Participants will learn:
• Prioritizing e-marketing goals.
• Specific, cost-effective ways to drive more
customers to your Web site.
• Tips on natural search optimization —
what works today?
• Tips on pay-per-click advertising — will it
work for you?
• The seven deadly sins of web marketing.

Lutheran and Methodist Churches
plan joint Lenten services
OXFORD — During the Lenten season,
members of Zion Lutheran Church, 70 S.
Main St., and members of the Oxford United
Methodist Church, 465 Main St., will join
together for a weeknight service.
The Methodist Church begins the series on
Ash Wednesday with services at both 1 and 7
p.m. Similarly, the Lutheran Church will end
the series on Good Friday with services at 1
and 7 p.m.
During the intervening weeks the two congregations
will meet on Tuesday evenings for
a soup supper at 6 p.m. and then a joint service
at 7 p.m.
The Methodist Church will host Tuesday
March 3, 17, and 31.
The Lutheran Church will host March 10
and March 24.
This is the second year of walking together
during Lent. Both Pastor Andrew Simon of
the Lutheran Church and Pastor Paula
Fletcher of the Methodist Church have indicated
that this Lenten partnership gives both
congregations an opportunity to “make new
friends in the faith, and grow spiritually
through cooperative-shared worship.”
The community is cordially invited to participate
in both the weekly Lenten services
and in the Tuesday evening soup suppers.
