  • Pam Y. asked the Chamber for $200 for Chamber bags. We will use these new bags for new business, and homeowners in town. We are hoping business will get involved with the idea and donate items or information about their business to put in the bags. In addition, we will be doing a “business of the month”. The drop boxes and forms will be located at CV city hall, the post office and Rays. Also there was a sign up sheet sent around to have businesses’ pick a month to do a business mixer. This will be a great way to get to know other business owners and patrons in your community and to let them know what you do and what you are about. Let us know if you would like to do one. We will let you know times and dates as we progress with this. The marketing meeting for the chamber meets the first and third Thursday (8:15AM) at the new chamber center located at 423 S Main St. (next door to Bead Mecca) Please join us with any ideas you may have.

  • The chamber discussed a downtown beautification grant. We are still in the start up process and this idea will be discussed further at following meetings.
