Chamber Bucks Reminder

Chamber Bucks is a program developed to support our local economy and Chamber members. Individuals and organizations may purchase “ Chamber Bucks ” in any amount to be spent only at member businesses. Many employers distribute them as holiday gifts, so you may see more of them in use this time of year as recipients redeem them at local businesses.

We are asking all employers/managers to read this list of reminders about the Chamber Bucks program to familiarize your employees how to both accept and give them.

Lunch & Learn Registration

Join us for our next Lunch & Learn at Noon on Tuesday, March 26 at the Commerce Center. One Vision Employment Solutions will be presenting on Navigating a Workplace with People Who Have Different Abilities.

This session is $10 and includes a light lunch. Register today!
