Welcome back to an exciting New Year with the Chamber. As the elected President I wish this to be the most successful year for your business. With every passing year there are new business challenges and ideas. With all we read in the Media it can have an effect on all of our business. Working together, my wish is the Chamber provides you with lots of ideas so we can keep a positive outlook and create success for all.
As with all volunteer organizations, it is the volunteers who give of their time that make the organization successful. Please consider how you can give of your time to best serve the needs of the Chamber and ultimately your business. There is a saying that goes something like this… “Many hands make the work load light” so if we all work together, together the work will get done and it won’t take too much time from any of us. I look forward to a fun year working together.
The Chamber is involved with the community. Some of activities this past year… included the Santa Parade, Redo Parade, Planning the upcoming Centennial celebrations in 2011, Curling and many others. These events are important to help attract outside folks for increased traffic to the town and to your business. Lets make sure these events are a success. We are looking for your help to organize and run these events. If there is a specific event you want to help out with, please let us know. Better yet, come out to our next meeting, 4th Monday of every month at the Tourism Building, and let us know where you can help!
We are a part of the Alberta Provincial Chamber. The benefits are too many to list here. To check them out visit www.abchamber.ca; click members’ benefits. By joining your local Chamber you now have access to the great benefits they offer.
I invite you out to any of our chamber meetings to see how the Chamber can help promote your business. Looking forward to seeing you at the next chamber function. Please check our online calendar of events at http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=bashawcc%40gmail.com
