We are Thankful to our Supporters
At this time of year, we are to reflect on what we are thankful for. For many it’s their health,
family, friends, finances, faith and peace of mind. In addition to those things that I am thankful
for as well, I must also add these components that are essential to my position and this 104 year
old institution that I am proud to represent. They are, my amazing staff, board, and
ambassadors; our loyal members; and our generous sponsors. Without these vital components,
our chamber would not succeed, let alone exist.
We try all we can to show our appreciation by consistently referring our members, advertising
their products and services, offering educational and networking opportunities, and doing all we
can to help them succeed. Our chamber members also enjoy special discounts that Non-
Members (or “Future Members”) are not privileged to.
One of our next exciting programs to promote our members and community to SHOP LOCAL
is our Chamber Cha Ching card! Each month our 550+ members are able to log into our
website to post their Cha Ching Deal they wish to offer. This allows seasonal businesses to
attract customers in their off-season as well as our restaurants to increase business on their slow
days. This card will be a benefit to all of our members to help increase their business as well as to
the card holder that can take advantage of some great deals!
Our Cha Ching card will be revealed at my personally favorite event of the year, Reindeer
Games Bowling Tournament on Tuesday, December 8, 2015 at Albemarle Lanes. Each year,
our members gather to not only cheer on their favorite bowling team wearing Christmas
costumes for the contest, but to win some great prizes, meet Santa Clause and enjoy some
holiday cheer and music!
We hope that you and yours have a very Happy Thanksgiving, and a Blessed Holiday Season!
Contact us for more information on these great events and join us for the fun!
