Third Friday Update: Spend Your Dollars Locally!

Posted by Bob Gernert on November 21, 2008 at 3:55 pm

Welcome to our twice monthly business blog update. Based on our 2008 member survey, 75% of you prefer electronic correspondence from the Chamber. The first and third Friday of each month we will share late breaking news with you via our blog post.

THE WORDS FOR THE SEASON ARE “SHOP LOCAL”

We all know this is a tough economy and many businesses are facing the Holiday Season with uncertainty as Americans tighten their belt. We can all do our community a big favor by spending our dollars locally. You’ll find every gift imaginable from special shops to fine restaurants and retailers. This Christmas, stuff your stockings at home!  The job you save may be your own.
