On Tuesday, September 21 we held a Business After Hours at Arize Federal Credit Union. They opened their new Huntingdon building during quarantine and we were finally able to celebrate their one year anniversary in the new location! The building is powered completely by solar panels. They gave tours of the new space and showed off their community room which is free for the public and businesses to use. The room has a separate entrance that can be accessed by using a code so the room can be used at any time without employees having to let you in. ReKlaimed Vines Winery and Vineyard served some of their delicious wines to attendees and Muddy Run Tavern catered.
October 2021 is Chamber of Commerce Month in Pennsylvania

Did you know........

Small businesses represent the largest segment by number of most local chamber membership rolls. Results in the research study by The Shapiro Group, Inc. and Market Street indicate the impact of local chamber membership on small businesses is very powerful. If a consumer knows a small business is a member of its local chamber, the business enjoys a 44 percent increase in its consumer favorability rating, a 51 percent increase in consumer awareness, a 57 percent increase in its local reputation and a 63 percent increase in the likelihood that consumers will patronize the business in the future.

Research indicates that chamber membership stimulates business-to-business commerce in the local community. Other businesses in town are more likely to do business with you and your company if you are a member of the local chamber. Because a major part of a small business typically comes from business-to-business services, it is essential to maintain a positive standing within the local business community.

Show your membership pride and that you are a repitable business. Download the Chamber logo to use on your website. Click the logo for more information.
