Are you having a special sale? Do you have a package you would like to promote? List it on the “Hot Deals” page of the Chamber website to promote it at no cost!

Establish a Member to Member Benefit
This is an opportunity to promote your own business by offering an exclusive benefit to other Chamber member businesses.

Applications for the Member to Member benefit are available at the Chamber office.

Events can include anything from community events and fundraisers to special promotions at your business or organization. Events are one of the top-searched pages on the Chamber website, so you want to be sure your events are included!
