Mini Trade Show May 28th

Dear Chamber Friends,
Next Wednesday is our first-ever Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce After Hours Mini Trade Show. The theme is "Grow your business", a very fitting theme indeed, as our sponsor and host will be Ponderay Garden Center.

Today I received a call from a young lady interested in having a booth at the show. Unfortunately, I turned her down. I turned her down, not because I didn't want her there, not because I didn't think she belonged, but simply put: she's not a member of the Chamber.

I really want our members to know that in many cases we open up our programs and services to members AND nonmembers alike, though we usually charge a little bit more for our nonmembers. For this event, it is sponsored & hosted by a Chamber member and space is so limited. I feel very strongly that the space reserved at such a low rate should be exclusively for our members.

I hope you know that we are consistently looking for ways that we can add value to your membership, to show you how much we appreciate you and to demonstrate our commitment to you to do all we can to help you grow your business.

Along those lines, please visit us on Friday May 30th for our Membership Appreciation Day. Another members-only opportunity. We will have hotdogs, beverages, snacks and tours, and we have a gift for our members who stop by & pay us a visit. (one gift per member please!)

You can even bring a table and put information out about your business (FREE, just because we want to say thanks). Hours are from 12 noon - 5pm. Call us at 263-0887 for more details.

Have a wonderful week, and remember that we appreciate you and hope that you always find value in your investment, not just in the Chamber, but the community.

Sincerely,

Amy Little, Executive Director
