Dear Chamber Members,
Shopping local this holiday season not only supports the business but also supports the whole community. The Chamber has been highlighting Chamber Member businesses and promoting Shop Local the past several weeks. If your business would like to be included in our social media promotions please reach out to the Chamber office today.
We kicked off December and Giving Tuesday to support our Chamber member non-profits, if you are in search of ways to give back please reach out to ask how you can help. Giving back looks differently to many with ideas ranging from, giving your time, your help at events, purchasing needed items as well as a monetary donation.
Thank you to those who attended Wake Up Watertown today, what a great way to start our day. Thank you Maranatha Baptist University and the men of Low Key to help get us in the holiday spirit. The first quarter of 2022 is filled with monthly sponsors for Wake Up Watertown, if your business would like to sponsor a month please contact the Chamber office today to reserve your spot.
Thank you to each of you for the support our Chamber has received in 2021. It has been a busy year with events, educational opportunities and networking. We are now busy laying out plans for 2022, continue to read our newsletter for upcoming events.
If you are planning to recognize your employees this year keep in mind that Chamber Gift Checks make the perfect holiday gift or year-end bonus. Chamber Gift Checks are good at over 200 Chamber member businesses. Call the Chamber office to pre-order your gift checks.
Our next bi-weekly newsletter will be sent out Wednesday, December 15th. During this time if your organization is hiring, offering programs, or have events to promote, please let us know so we can share with our membership and the community. Please send information by Friday, December 10th to info@watertownchamber.com.
