December Newsletter | Love Local This Holiday Season

Message from the Executive Director

November was quite busy! We cut the ribbon with Roush Detailing, Burkes Outlet/Home Centric, EV Charging Station at Seneca East Schools, Simply Susan's, Brandie Gruss' 10-year anniversary and The Laird Building. We have an upcoming ribbon cutting for Forte Music's new location next Tuesday.

A special welcome to our newest members: Ag Credit, ACA, Casa Express, Hope's Landing, Pinnacle Lighting Group, LLC, Rocking Er Farm Store, Salon Source 2000, T-Town DJ, Tiffin Community Foundation and Xcaret Mexican Rest.

Holiday season is in full-swing! The Love Local campaign was inspired by the annual Small Business Saturday event sponsored by American Express that will take place on Saturday, November 26 in communities across the country. The Seneca Regional Chamber wishes to encourage the community to support local every day of the year. According to the Small Business Administration (SBA) for every dollar spent at a small business in the United States, approximately 67 cents stays in the local community.
