Newburyport Chamber of Commerce - Chamber Chat
Good day to the readers of Newburyport-Today. It has been amazing to watch the evolution of this web site. I am honored to be fortunate to post every week on behalf of the Greater Newburyport Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Chamber Chat is one of the many interesting things that I get to do every week and I want to thank Kim Gobbi for giving me the opportunity to be involved!
It has been an up and down weather week in our little neck of the woods. I know that many of you are beginning to think about real spring, patio furniture out, gardening supplies in your driveways and plenty of spring time celebrations such as graduations, Mothers Day and any holiday you can think of! May I suggest that you check out the chamber’s member directory for all your household, business and personal needs. You will find over 800 members that offer an array of services and business opportunities. The member directory link is http://www.newburyportchamber.org/member_directory.shtml. If you have further questions please feel free to call the chamber for more information at 978-462-6680. We’d be happy to help you!
Also, if you are looking for a social or cultural event then check out our web site as well. There is so much going on in and around Newburyport. Check out our web site http://www.newburyportchamber.org/calendar_of_events.shtml
for the many happenings of our members in our little neck of the world!
Also, please don’t forget that many of the downtown retailers are open late now on Thursday through Saturday nights. Look for flyers in participating chamber member businesses. Check out which of your favorite stores are open by visiting http://www.newburyportchamber.org/pdf/newburyport_open_later_final.pdf
May also brings traditional Spring Invitation Nights on Fridays, May 7 & 14. Enjoy merchant hospitality and complimentary refreshments at these very special shopping events in downtown Newburyport. Back by popular demand this year, the Newburyport Shop & Dine Giveaway! Enter to win a Shop & Dine Giveaway worth $1000, $500 or $200! Giveaway packages include a collection of gift certificates to downtown businesses.
To enter to win, simply visit participating businesses in Downtown Newburyport & The Tannery anytime May 7 through May 14. Pick up a Shop & Dine Giveaway card (no purchase necessary!) and have participating shops and restaurants validate it for you. Entrants must visit 10 businesses to be eligible to win. Final drawing will be held on May 17.
Don’t miss the Chamber’s 44th Annual Meeting to be held on Wednesday, May 12, 2010 at 12:00 noon at Blue Ocean Music Hall (formerly Tupelo Music Hall) in Salisbury. Our guest speaker will be former CEO of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Charlie Baker. It is an event not to miss and we hope to see you there as well. Call the chamber for more information.
We offer a weekly Member2Member email program in which chamber members can directly communicate via email with other chamber members. These very popular Member2Member emails can be shared with anyone. Often times the information is a banking service offer, a new restaurant menu or announcement of a special event. So here is a sample of this week’s offerings.
