A Word from the Director
And just like THAT that Home Show is over! For those of you who participated as a vendor or attended as a guest, I think it would be safe to say the show was a SUCCESS!
It was amazing to see the isles of the mall so full, and it appeared as though many vendors made great connections at their booths during the weekend!
We are very thankful to Cindy's Deli, Romano's Restaurant, and Figaro's Ristaurante who graciously offered discounts to our vendors during the weekend of the show. And to Costco and ShopRite who donated snacks and water to our vendor lounge.
We were thrilled to have our GOLD Sponsor USA Hauling & Sonny's Place along with our SILVER Sponsors Rich's Oil Service and Cabela's and our BRONZE Sponsor Your CBD Store!! Thank you to all our Sponsors for your support!
Thankfully we got out ahead of the COVID-19 outbreak and had GREAT attendance. Thank you to all the businesses who donated to our raffles, and congratulations to all the winners including Steven M. from Enfield was the lucky 50/50 Raffle winner and took home $210!
Last but certainly not least, we would like to thank the members of the Home Show committee who work more than half the year in preparation of the show to make sure the needs of the vendors and guests are hopefully met or exceeded every year! This show would not happen with out the combined effort of all our committee members - So, thank you to our co-chairs Gary Cote of Hangman Wallpaper & Paint, and Rebecca Olesen of The Guidance office, and our committee members Laurie Mongillo of Budget Blinds of Enfield, Aimee Boettcher of Two Moons Creative, Cindy Narine of People's United Bank, Dave McNair of McNair Business Machines, Natasha McRitchie of The Koverage Group, and our chamber volunteer Pauline Bellomo.
Currently our nation is experiencing the COVID-19 Pandemic. As you are reading this many businesses have been closed or will be closing, all events have been cancelled or postponed, and essential businesses exempt from closing such as those in the food industry and healthcare industry to name a few, are experiencing tremendous surges on their services and resources as they try to protect their employees as well as the public. The pandemic will no doubt test our businesses and communities as we struggle to get through this.
I would like to encourage our chamber members to make an effort to support each other during these trying times. Reach out to check on your fellow chamber members, support the local businesses that are still open and share any important information you find!
Stay safe and healthy!
Sincerely,
Karen Campbell
Director of Operations NCCCC

Around the Region News and Notes:
|
- ShopRite of Enfield - COVID-19 Store Update: *ATTENTION: In order to meet the needs of its community, 5% Senior Discount is immediately extended to Monday through Friday.*Rather than carve our specific hours for seniors to shop, we feel it is better to extend our weekly promotional offer of 5% off. Our store remains fairly well-stocked and we can assure a safe, comfortable environment in the midst of the high traffic.With deliveries running behind our trucks are no longer being worked overnight, which means top replenishment hours are not first thing in the morning anymore. Instead, as product arrives we are getting it out as fast as possible.Hours of operation are remaining the same for now.
- Rich's Oil Service - COVID-19 Update:EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY:For the safety and welfare of our customers and employees our office will be closed to the public. The office will remain staffed to take orders, schedule appointments and process payments during our normal operating hours.Payments can be made by utilizing the drop box at our office or if necessary, we will offer curbside payment where our staff will assist you.Payments and Oil delivery orders can also be processed online through our website at www.RPHAC.com If you have any questions or concerns, we can be reached at 860-763-2015 Thank you, for allowing us to serve your families.
