Are you in the Chamber Pot?

Each Spring the Chamber holds a community wide raffle in which ticket purchasers can win a grand prize of $10,000 and several smaller prizes as well. This Chamber Pot Raffle as it has been known is an event from which monies raised help support our mission to be the most impactful business and community group around.

This coming April 6, 2017 we will pull the lucky ticket at Vasa Waterfront Kitchen & Bar right over the bridge in Salisbury! As some will say...if you don't play you can't win! Tickets are $100 and can be purchased at the Chamber, from one of our board members or better yet...one of our nine community member ticket locations!

 I'm in - How do I get my ticket?
