2023 Family Fest, Family Fun!
On July 3rd, 2023, Family Fest brought the community together for a day of festivities and fun-filled activities. Despite the weather challenges, everyone that attended embraced the event by engaging in attractions such as corn hole, a bean bag toss, and a craft table. The presence of special guests, including Smokey the Bear, Alfie the Eagle, a talented Magician, Echo the Bat, and Tommy the Moose added an extra touch of excitement to Family Fest!
We would like to extend our appreciation to the sponsors who made this event possible: Lincoln Caverns, Inc. and Whisper Rocks, Bobcat of Huntingdon, AAA Central Penn, MDB Drafting & Design, Juniata College, and Westminster Woods.

UC Fraud and UC-1099G Tax Forms
Victim of unemployment fraud?
Criminals using stolen identities filed claims for unemployment compensation in other people's names. Because unemployment compensation is taxable, state unemployment agencies submit Forms 1099-G to individuals in whose names and Social Security numbers the unemployment compensation was paid and to the IRS. Victims of fraud who receive Forms 1099-G with inaccurate amounts of unemployment compensation in Box 1 should notify the state agencies of the inaccuracies and request corrected Forms 1099-G. The Department of Labor details www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/UIIDtheft.

Did you know........
Small businesses represent the largest segment by number of most local chamber membership rolls. Results in the research study by The Shapiro Group, Inc. and Market Street indicate the impact of local chamber membership on small businesses is very powerful. If a consumer knows a small business is a member of its local chamber, the business enjoys a 44 percent increase in its consumer favorability rating, a 51 percent increase in consumer awareness, a 57 percent increase in its local reputation and a 63 percent increase in the likelihood that consumers will patronize the business in the future.
Research indicates that chamber membership stimulates business-to-business commerce in the local community. Other businesses in town are more likely to do business with you and your company if you are a member of the local chamber. Because a major part of a small business typically comes from business-to-business services, it is essential to maintain a positive standing within the local business community.
