2011-12 Buffalo Grove Community Guide - Communities

a me s s a G e f r o m T h e Ch a m b e r Pr e s i d e n T
During these changing and challenging times,
the Buffalo Grove Area Chamber of Commerce is
committed to helping our members, all Buffalo
Grove businesses and the Village at large. In 2010,
the Chamber continued its community efforts
by collecting food during Buffalo Grove Days, by
awarding Ronald J. Jonas scholarships and hosting,
along with Lake County Chairman David Stolman, an Employment/Survival
Resources Fair.
The BGACC is all about meeting and knowing people. From our 10 business
luncheons, to our business before and after hours, to our Lunch & Learn
Seminars, the Chamber is about promoting your business. In February 2011, the
Chamber introduced our new website. This keeps the Chamber current with the
state of the art in business communications by providing easy access to Buffalo
Grove business information both for the members and people wanting to locate
our members in person and on the Internet. In 2010, we held events to assist
members in utilizing the premier business e-networking site: Linked-In. We
have more such events planned and we will initiate more programs about social
networking for businesses.
We encourage all Buffalo Grove businesses to join the Buffalo Grove Area
Chamber of Commerce. The chamber gives you the opportunity to promote
your business at all Chamber events, many of which extend beyond the
corporate limits of the village and to the community at large.
But, we also care and give back to the community. The Chamber continues to
award college scholarships under the banner of the Ronald J. Jonas Scholarship
Fund and supervised by our Education Committee. The Chamber has supplied,
through the tireless efforts of our Community Outreach Committee, the local
food pantries by sponsoring a variety of efforts including the collection of
food during the Buffalo Grove Days parade. And the Chamber will continue its
efforts to assist our community. Later this year the Chamber will sponsor the
first annual Heart of Buffalo Grove Awards - recognizing seven categories of
volunteers in the Community.
The Chamber encourages our residents to shop locally! It is YOU that help
our businesses and service providers thrive in the community through your
consistent support. Shopping locally keeps sales tax dollars within the
community and helps the environment by keeping gas consumption down.
This Community guide provides you with a vast amount of information on
the community—village and township numbers, schools, hospitals, churches
& synagogues, events, local businesses and much more. We hope that you will
find it a useful reference.
