You should also know about another great service we offer to chamber members and now through this post to you the community! 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.
And for much more information on these events and much more greater Newburyport area information go to our web site www.newburyportchamber.org
