Your weekly update is here.

If your business runs on a January - December fiscal year, more than likely you soon will be starting to work on your budget. The Chamber staff has created a corporate sponsorship letter that outlines all the planned events for next year and the levels that your business can sponsor them. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for your business to sponsor events. This way if you have to have your budget approved by a corporate office you will have all the information that you need in advance so you can get that approved and not miss out on a targeted audience that you are wanting to advertise to.

Don't worry, this doesn't mean that if you don't sign up now to sponsor an event for next year that you won't be able to when the event actually comes. It just means for budgeting purposes it may be easier for some members to know all the opportunities ahead of budget time.

Please click on the image to see all the upcoming events that you can choose from. We will also be mailing out this letter to all members in case you miss this email.

If you have any questions please contact me at the Chamber office at 402-461-8400 or email me at mshafer@hastingschamber.com. Thank you for your continued support of the Chamber and all the events we host for the community throughout the year.
