MEMBER CHECKLIST
1) Have you recently logged in to the Member Portal* to update your company description, confirm your staff lists, and share your social media platforms? If you don't remember when you last logged in, your information is in need of a refresh. The Member Portal is what populates your company's listing on the Member Directory, which is what the public sees when searching for a business.

2) If your company has any special offers or discounts, have you created a coupon (via the Member Portal) so that it will appear on our website?

3) Have you been to any events lately? We have lots of events to choose from at a variety of times and price-points. People do business with, and refer, people they know and trust. Come out and meet fellow members to increase your company's presence within the Chamber.


*Contact Linda if you need your Member Portal credentials.
BUSINESS BEFORE BREAKFAST
MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: BELIEVE N' BOOKS
For Believe N' Books founder Natasha Agarwal, reading was a big part of being at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Though she could not travel, she felt she could visit anywhere in the world through a good book. The realization that not everyone has access to books in their everyday lives made a significant impact on Natasha. This inspired her to start Believe N' Books so that everyone has the chance to get lost in a book. Natasha is currently an 8th grader at the Canterbury School in Fort Myers and likes reading, travelling and hanging out with friends. Natasha is involved in theatre, science research, basketball and is a member of the National Junior Honor Society.

The mission of Believe N' Books is to provide children with books to expand their horizons and enhance their understanding of the world. To achieve their mission, Believe N' Books needs new or gently used children's books for infant to young adult. Believe N' Books is focused on donating books to children who do not have ready access to books, and is partnering with the Guadalupe Center to help distribute books to children in Immokalee.

The Chamber is holding a book drive for Believe N' Books this summer. Please bring your donated books to our office Monday-Friday between 10:00AM and 4:00PM. We are located at 2310 Edwards Drive in downtown Fort Myers.
BLOOD DRIVE NEXT WEEK
