Dear Chamber Members,
We are excited to announce a great opportunity and resource for many Chamber member businesses in search of employees. In partnership with the Watertown Area Chamber of Commerce, Latino Academy of Workforce Development, Thrive Economic Development and the Watertown Area YMCA we will be hosting a Latino Career Fair at the Watertown YMCA on Thursday, November 17th from 4pm to 7pm. The career fair will be a family friendly event, and will include childcare for participants. The Latino Academy will be contracted to run and promote the event, with outreach to the Hispanic community. Our goal is to bring 20 companies to participate at a cost of $500.00 per business. If this opportunity is something you are interested in learning more about please contact Bonnie today at bonnie@watertownchamber.com
As in past years we welcome any Chamber member business who would like to be in front of the Chamber office from 1pm to 3pm to hand out treats for the trick or treaters on Saturday, October 29th. If you are interested in showcasing your business please contact the Chamber office today.
Our next bi-weekly newsletter will be sent out Wednesday, November 2nd. 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.
