CHAMBER MEMBER ANNOUNCEMENTS
2021 Eagle River-Chugiak Parks and Recreation - BOO at the Beach

Parks and Rec would like to support our community by giving back. Admission will be your donation of non-perishable food items that will be distributed to the Eagle River Chugiak Senior Center.

If you would like to skip the line, bring your donation in advance to the parks and rec office to receive your wristband.

This year‘s event will be a trick-or-treat trail for the little ones. There will be NO Haunted Trail this year. Parking is free as always at the Chugiak high school parking lot with a free shuttle. Don't forget to bring your own food and drinks to the event as there may not be any items for purchase on-site.

Costumes encouraged! Hope to see you there.

AK-ARPA Business Relief

The Alaska State Legislature appropriated $90 million from the State’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Covid State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF) toward a tourism and business relief grant program to be administered by the Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development (DCCED).

The application period opened at 8:00 am on Friday, September 17, 2021 and will remain open until 8:00 am on October 19, 2021. The AK-ARPA business grant program is not a first-come, first-served grant opportunity.
Hello Chugiak-Eagle River Chamber of Commerce -
 
As your State Representative I am honored to serve you in Juneau. As a fellow business owner in our community, I know the demands of running a business and know of the trials and tribulations that you all face these days with Covid-19 and workforce availability. That is why I placed 4x8 signs throughout our community to inform you that you have the power regarding workforce availability by assisting the State Labor and Workforce fraud division of Unemployment Insurance.  
 
You have the Voice and Power to increase the workforce! CALL (907) 269-4880 to Report

Please notify the Division of all who deny a job offer and who do not show up for an interview!

· The Unemployment Insurance Fraud division needs your help to immediately deny people unemployment insurance if they are not accepting job offers or not attending job interviews.
· By you reporting will motivate people to seek employment rather "free load off the system."

Light Bulb Swap - Save Money and Power with our Member Event in October!

The month of October is energy efficiency awareness month and we are helping our members save money and power with our new light bulb swap event. During the month of October, bring in at least 3 incandescent 60-watt light bulbs to any of our MEA office locations and we will give you a 6-pack of LED's (limited to one pack per member). We will be repurposing the old light bulbs you bring in for local youth art projects. A 60-watt light bulb used for 8 hours a day for a month will cost you approximately $2.97 on your electric bill vs. an 8.8-watt LED replacement which would cost 43 cents for the same amount of use on your bill. The MEA Light Bulb Swap event will be available while supplies lasts. To see our office locations and hours, click here.
