TOMORROW - CHAMBER HOLIDAY PARTY!
You are invited to the Chamber Holiday Party tomorrow - Wednesday, December 2 from 5:30PM-8:30PM - at the Crowne Plaza Fort Myers at Bell Tower to help us celebrate the end of 2020!

This year's theme is "How the Grinch Stole Christmas - and 2020!"

Come ready to deck the halls as there will be awards for best holiday-themed outfits!

Capacity is limited to 90 guests. We have all of the ballrooms and the courtyard and can safely physically distance. Please note that masks are required in the public spaces of the hotel. One complimentary adult beverage is included in ticket price, then cash bar. $50 for Chamber Members, $75 for Future Members. 

A handful of spots remain - make your reservation now!
ATTRACTIONS & RESTAURANTS - WE NEED YOUR MATERIALS!
Pictured: Debra DeHaven in our lobby when the shelves were filled!
Our shelves are nearly bare of marketing materials for our Member attractions and restaurants! We are seeing an increase in walk-in traffic and requests for packets of "things to do" to be mailed and want to be able to promote your businesses.

Please bring your brochures, rack cards, menus, etc. between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.

You can also mail them to us at 2310 Edwards Drive, Fort Myers, FL 33901 if that is more convenient.

SHOP LOCAL CAMPAIGN TO CONTINUE THROUGH END OF YEAR
We hope you have seen the billboards, read the op-ed pieces, and heard our radio ads challenging the community to shop locally and "be a local spender with a Chamber member!"

We know that our local businesses need our support now more than ever, and we are extending this shop local campaign through the end of the year!

If you have not already done so, please let us know what you are doing for the holiday season. Perhaps a package, special offer, or other incentive? We are gathering all of these in one place - www.fortmyers.org/shoplocal - to make it easy for the community to find. Send your information to Debra to be included.
