Why did you join the Chamber of Commerce? Was

it to network with local businesses? get involved

with community events? Or just join to say you

are a member? Whatever the reason, the best

way to take advantage of your membership is to

get involved with some of the many events that

the chamber is involved with throughout the year.

There is the annual Golf Tournament, Community

Expo, The Annual Awards banquet, The Raffle

Bash and Operation Thank You. Then there are

the numerous “business after hours”. These all

provide a chance to promote your business or

learn about other businesses in the area. You will

get out of it what you put into it, so take ad-

vantage of your membership. Call or stop by the

Chamber office and find out what you can do to

get involved.
