MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

SHOP LOCAL THIS HOLIDAY SEASONSHOP LOCAL THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

Fellow Chamber Members,

The leaves are falling quickly and I hope you all enjoyed a final push of sales during the 285 Gold Rush campaign. The main tourism season has come to an end and we are going to focus on new ideas of how to set our businesses up for success in the winter. Last meeting we discussed some ideas of shop-ping local this upcoming holiday season. The board is in full support of cre-ating a new program that would reward locals that spend their dollars in our area. Please come to the meeting with your ideas as we would like your input to make this a success for everyone.

Also we talked about some fun events like snowman building, winter golf, ice skating, etc. This are all great ideas, but in order to make them reality, we need your help.

Last but not least, I would like to thank the several individuals that are con-sidering getting on the ballot to fill the upcoming vacancies of our board of directors. It’s not too late to be part of it. Please sign up as a candidate by our November general meeting, elections are at our December general meeting.

I hope to see you all at the mixer on Wednesday at Conifer Crossings.

Make it a lucrative month,

Marcel Flukiger

Help us make this program a success!

If you have ideas and a little time to help us put together a great shop local holiday season reward program, please join

our team. This will just take a few meetings during the next month, and we will be all set to boost the local micro market.

The board of directors if fully aboard to fund this program and make it a huge success. Sign up at the general meeting or

call me at 303-816-5504. Marcel Flukiger
