Dear
Business Owner:
The
Du Quoin Chamber of Commerce would like to take this opportunity
to invite you to join us in membership with other area businesses.
Our fiscal year begins October 1, 2011 through September 30,
2012.
The
“fair share member investment” as we like to call it - is
$100.00 per year. If you calculate your member investment
over 12 months time, it’s less than $8.40 per month. We feel
that is quite a bargain since the Chamber promotes your town
and member businesses. Not only does your “fair share member
investment” help fund the chamber office, which fields questions
about local businesses and tourism, but it is a communication
center for volunteers, businesses, industry, and community
events.
Through
membership participation and committee involvement, we offer:
- Meetings to Discuss
Topics of Mutual Interest & Concern
- Networking and
Fellowship
- Community Involvement
- Educational Programs
- A Voice in Business
Issues
- Access to New
Residents & Businesses
- Guides and Information
- Opportunity for
Member-to-Member Discounts & Special Offers
The
regular meetings are held the FIRST WEDNESDAY OF EACH MONTH
beginning at 6:00 PM. A notice is mailed the week prior to
the meeting with information regarding location.
Working
as a team is what a successful Chamber is all about. You may
choose to be involved in as many projects as you would like
or have no involvement, but the choice is yours. Most active
members have found that they do benefit more by being involved
in at least one project. This gives them exposure to new customers,
advertising, etc. People do business with people they know
and trust. Also, personal and leadership qualities are developed
through board and committee participation.
Please
consider “joining” us through membership. We’re your Du Quoin
Chamber of Commerce.
Sincerely,
The Membership Committee Du Quoin Chamber of Commerce
