Greetings, Members!
Coming Up
Small Business Saturday
Small Business Saturday is November 29. Please contact us if you would like a bucket for the prize drawing so that customers who make a purchase on the 29th have a chance to win Chamber Bucks. (On a side note, remember that any time a customer pays with a Chamber Buck, you endorse and deposit it just as if it were a check.)
Many businesses like to offer specials on Small Business Saturday. We will be glad to share your posts or flyers on our Facebook page to help spread the word—just let us know!
