A MESSAGE FROM
THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Greetings,
On behalf of the Chamber, we want to wish you a wonderful, joyous, prosperous and Happy New Year! What a wonderful time to reflect on the past year, changes and business initiatives ahead. The Chamber welcomed 36 new businesses in 2014, and we look forward to meeting with prospective member businesses in 2015.
Looking ahead to 2015, we have most of our Business  After Hours scheduled and several business seminars planned. Browse through the newsletter for more information and check out our website - www.gokennebunks.com. In February, the Chamber invites you to be part of a new initiative, "Paint the Town Red," helping to make our area "New England's Most Romantic Town." We hope to get many businesses involved. Decorate with white and red lights! Offer dining, lodging and retail deals! Let's get people to our area during the winter months. Call or email the Chamber to be involved.
And to all member businesses, did you know:
* You can post your business event free on our calendar?
* That you can get a listing of all of our members free?
* That you can post jobs on our job listing for free?
* Post your "hot deals" and "specials" on the Chamber's website at no cost?
Call the Chamber to get more information on how to use the Chamber's free marketing and advertising tools on our website!
As always, with an open-door philosophy, the Chamber welcomes you to stop by, and we would love to hear from you. If you have ideas, concerns, or need help navigating through business resources and information, please contact The Chamber. We would be more than happy to help.
Best regards,
Denise M. Clavette, Executive Director
