GIFT CERTIFICATES
We have been encouraging people to support our local businesses by purchasing gift certificates during these stressful times. If you are a business and would like to offer gift certificates but are not set up online to do so, please contact Diane at
diane@windhamchamber.com
and we will include you in our program and get you set up FOR FREE. If you are currently offering gift certificates, please send us an email and let us know.
SUPER HEROES
During this very unusual, demanding, stressful and uncertain times, many of you are going above and beyond and really doing some remarkable things. If you know of anyone who is a “hero”, an organization that has been extra generous or gone out of their way to help people, or just a really unique and fun way of dealing with this situation, please email us the information. The Chamber believes we all need to be reminded that there is MORE good happening than bad, and that our fellow AMERICANS ARE STRONG, PULL TOGETHER AND OVERCOME!!! We will feature all of this in our future newsletters.
