Gift Certificates Program

Always give the perfect gift. The Chamber's Gift Certificate program is the highest rated program provided by the Chamber ... and this program allows local dollars to stay local. More than 5,000 certificates were issued in 2007, accounting for nearly $160,000 being spent among the 140 Chamber businesses that participated. The Chamber re-issues outdated Gift Certificates, so you truly can never go wrong with such a timeless gift.


Monthly Business Journal

The monthly Chamber newsletter, Outlook Business Journal, offers information and opportunities for promotion and recognition for Chamber members and their employees. It is mailed out at the first of every month to our members. The Chamber and Economic Development allows members to send information inserts in the Chamber newsletter.
