The Newsletter of the West Shore Chamber of Commerce
Chamber Announces
Two New Partnerships
The West Shore Chamber is pleased to announce that it has entered into partnerships
with Leadership Cumberland and World Trade Center (WTC). These partnerships are a
perfect blend of the Chamber’s initiatives with the ongoing strategic planning process. A
major outcome of that planning was the Chamber’s commitment to identifying new joint
ventures with organizations that will enhance growth opportunities for members.
Leadership Cumberland provides development for area business and organizational
leaders through a monthly, session-based program. As part of Leadership Cumberland’s
new strategic direction, it will be relocating its current office to 145 S. Hanover St., Carlisle,
and will be opening a two-person, part-time office at the West Shore Chamber’s Office in
Camp Hill. The Chamber is pleased to host the business office functions of Leadership
Cumberland because of the positive impact a leadership development program will have
on our area and for our members.
Leadership Cumberland is accepting applications and nominations for the class of
2011, which begins in August and runs through May 2011. Interested parties may contact
Merideth Bucher, Executive Director, at director@leadershipcumberland.org, for more
information.
The WTC partnership will assist members of the Chamber with information and ease
of access to the many resources available through the WTC organization. For example,
WTC currently has information concerning the Pennsylvania Market Access Grant
Program to enhance the capability of small and mid-sized PA companies to increase
export sales. Grants of up to $3,000 are available for use between now and June 30. WTC
and the Chamber are also planning an information session on August 4 for businesses
interested in beginning or expanding their market to include international trade. For
more information on these programs contact Tina Weyant, Executive Director at 843-
1090.
West Shore Chamber Unveils Junior
Leadership Central PA Program

Northern York, West Shore and West Perry School Districts.
Junior Leadership Central PA was designed to familiarize young leaders with
the various elements that form a strong and dynamic community while developing
leadership skills. The program will consist of a series of six day-long seminars held from
September 2010 through March 2011, will incorporate a community service project
and will be offered to 25 private, public and parochial school students. The curriculum

Remembering Mr. George C. Hoopy
(1906-2007)
George C. Hoopy was a business leader, philanthropist and tremendous supporter of the
West Shore Chamber of Commerce. As June 23 - the anniversary of what would have been
his 104th birthday - approaches, the Chamber wishes to remember and acknowledge
one if its most respected founding members.
Mr. Hoopy was among the 33 gentlemen who formed the West Shore Businessmen’s
Association in 1948, which later became the West Shore Chamber of Commerce. He
served as the Association’s first secretary and later became the 17th Chairman of the
Chamber’s Board of Directors. He remained active in the organization throughout his
life, attending committee meetings and providing financial support to the organization
until, at 101 years old, his health prevented him from doing so.
The Chamber’s most prestigious award is named in his honor. The George C. Hoopy
Award recognizes the Chamber member who has demonstrated a commitment to fellow
business owners and members through active Chamber membership in committees,
frequent attendance at Chamber functions and promotion of the Chamber through
increased membership. Mr. Hoopy exemplified all of these things.
Mr. Hoopy’s support of the community continued beyond his death. Many community
organizations benefited from his
estate bequests, the Chamber
among them. His significant
financial contribution has allowed
the Chamber to set up a special
fund which assists the Chamber
with keeping membership dues
affordable for businesses of all
sizes. Mr. Hoopy’s legacy lives
on in the Chamber, continuing
to benefit and support the
area’s business and economic
development.
Need Financing?
The Chamber and CCED Can Help You!
With credit availability from conventional financial
institutions getting tighter and more difficult to obtain,
businesses have to become more creative when looking
for ways to obtain financing. Aware of the credit crunch,
Cumberland County Economic Development (CCED),
a partner of the West Shore Chamber of Commerce, has
worked diligently to develop lending tools and assist
businesses looking for financing.
CCED offers a variety of low interest loan programs
aimed to help businesses grow, create as well as retain
jobs, and become more successful. Through CCED’s
programs, loans as low as $10,000 and as high as
$10,000,000 are available to eligible businesses. Two
of the most recognized programs available are Small
Business First and the SBA 504 program. In addition,
these programs can partner with conventional sources of financing making it a win-win
for everyone. The business receives financing, the bank or credit union participates and
maintains the relationship, and we continue to grow our economy.
To find out more information on how the Chamber and CCED can help you become
more successful, contact Kathleen Mangan at 761-0702.

Swap Your Card to Double Your Business
The Women in Business Roundtable invites business men and women to this networking event on June 22 from 11:30 a.m. to
1:30 p.m. at Carrabba’s Italian Grill. This event is expected to shake up the normal meet-and-greet. In this networking exercise,
attendees will submit two business cards at registration. Then, during an opening networking presentation, the cards will be mixed
and attendees will pick a card. Participants will network to find the person the card belongs to.
The cost to attend this networking luncheon is $20 per member. However, if members register a non-member guest, you
both will receive 50% off the cost of registration. Want to bring more than one non-member guest? All of you can register for the
discounted price of $10. This is a great opportunity to introduce your friends and colleagues to the benefits of Chamber membership.
To register, visit the online events calendar at www.wschamber.org. Special thanks to sponsors Carrabba’s Italian Grill and the
HDH Group.

n Has your business card changed? If so, remember to update the “Wall of Fame” with your most up-to-date business cards.
Cards can be dropped off or mailed to the Chamber at 4211 Trindle Road, Camp Hill. Remember to stop by and replenish your
cards often.
n The Education Committee is enlisting members to become part of the Chamber’s Job Shadowing Database to enrich the
educational experience of our local communities’ students. The commitment would be between 3 to 5 hours in duration. A job
shadowing experience helps students make informed career choices.

more than $1,000 by posting them on www.wschamber.org/rfp.shtml. Proposals will only be accepted from Chamber members.
n The Health Care/Insurance Committee is interested in assisting members with questions related to their employee benefits
programs. Email your questions to tammy@wschamber.org and a member of the Committee will volunteer to answer your question.
Also, watch the weekly email reminders for future announcements about webinars and other opportunities to learn more about
the changes to expect as a result of the recently enacted Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
n The Governmental Affairs Committee is planning a “A Day at the State Capitol” for June 23, 2010. Chamber members can
participate in meetings with legislators, discussion of topics important to our business community, sit in on a session and enjoy a
tour of the Capitol. For additional information, please email wschamber@wschamber.org.
