SAVE THE DATE
The Chamber is planning a drawing for Saturday, November 14, that will be a mini version of our popular Liberty-Dayton '500 (normally held in August or September each year). As everyone knows, COVID has put a big dent in holding large indoor events, thus the regular '500 was not planned this year. More details on the November 14 drawing will follow at a later date.

Save money on payment processing and contribute funds to the Chamber with Clearent Payment Solutions.
When a business, referred by a Chamber member, converts their payment processing to Clearent, the company (Clearent) will pay a percentage of that businesses' processing cost to the Liberty-Dayton Area Chamber. The business will be saving money and at the same time, the Chamber will be adding revenue. This is at no cost to the business owner (and a lower percentage rate).
To make a referral:
Send e-mail to alandry@clearent.com with the business and contact's name, phone number or e-mail. In the subject line, state "LDACC referral". That is all that is needed. Once approved, the Chamber begins increasing revenue. In addition, Clearent will provide a free terminal to each referral. They will get next day funding and an online tracking portal. Please direct questions to Andrew J. Landry at 832.322.6948.
