December 2016
As 2016 comes to an end, the Cayuga County Chamber of Commerce would like to thank all of its members and advocates for your continued support and efforts this past year. It was a year of change, and, as always, with that comes challenges. With your input and energy, however, we are ending the year with strong membership growth and many ideas for the new year.
Coming up in 2017 will be our very first Restaurant Week, during which Chamber Member restaurants and food establishments will be offering special deals and entertainment from January 23rd through 28th. This exciting new event will offer the perfect opportunity to fight cabin fever and support your fellow Chamber businesses. In 2017, we will also be reconsidering our educational programs, advocacy opportunities, and where the Chamber can add value for you. Chamber staff will be out and about asking for your opinions, and you may see a survey or two, but please don't hesitate to reach out to us as well. We want to hear what would be of use to your business, and how we can help your business succeed. So don't be strangers. Keep an eye on events, such as Business After Fives, the State of the City and County Luncheon, and the Annual Awards Luncheon coming up in the early months of 2017. We look forward to seeing and hearing from you, because, after all, we're here to serve you.

Sincerely,
Tracy Verrier,
Executive Director
