Spring Eggstravaganza!

From the Desk of our President:

It may have been a chilly start with a few rain drops for the first

Egg-Stavaganza. This did not keep the families away. Such an amazing event!

Thank you to O'Brien Family Funeral Home for the invite to hold this event on their grounds. There was plenty of parking and space for all the businesses who participated.

This would not have been possible without the support of the local business community. Thank you to our guest of honor, the Easter Bunny and all of the volunteers.

All those in attendance clearly enjoyed all that was offered as we saw lots of smiles and excitement.


Best,
Regina Zebrowski

COVID-19 Survey of impact to local businesses

Hello Chamber members!

I know that the last few weeks have presented significant challenges, unprecedented decision making, and examining how to do business differently.  Our community may be small but we are tight! The Chamber wants to hear from you on how the COVID-19 has impacted your business.  We hear the national and state-wide numbers but we want the data and stories that are local to us.

 

Please take our brief confidential survey so that we can assess the local impact.  We will share the aggregate results with you. We ask that you complete the survey by Tuesday, March 31st and we will get the results to you later next week. 

 

Do not hesitate to reach out to me or any other member of the board to see how we can help you or to share your stories. While these are unchartered times, we are in this together and we get to the other side.
