As your new Chamber of Commerce President, I have the privilege of working with the dedicated members of your Chamber Board.  Together, we are committed to working with you to help navigate the challenges you face, to include those posed by the pandemic.

Now more than ever before, our entire community must be aware of the need to support our Local Businesses.

Every single one of us counts on local businesses as the fabric of our communities and we all have a role to play in helping them through this crisis. Here are two ways to help.

SHOP LOCAL

During this difficult time, let’s make sure we are all patronizing our local businesses. Join us in shopping local every day. We can all help local businesses by:

• Shopping at a local retailer

• Trying out a neighborhood restaurant

• Finding unique holiday gifts from local artisans and makers

• Purchasing a gift card from a business in the area

• Supporting local service providers

SHARE ON SOCIAL

Be a Local Business Champion and tell your family and friends to do the same. Join the conversation on social media by calling on everyone to shop local every day and mentioning your favorite local businesses. Everyone can participate in this effort.

Going forward, your Chamber will be looking at additional ways to assist our Local Businesses. Your suggestions are welcome!

Bob Miller
President
