With the election of 2014 over, we now head into the month of November and the busy holiday season that runs until the end of the year. Congratulations to all of the newly elected local, state and national leaders. We look forward to working with all of you, as we all continue to move our state and country forward.
One final reminder to get your reservations in today for the East Jordan State of the Community Forum scheduled for Tuesday, November 11, 2014 at the Harvest Barn Church. We are receiving many first-time attendee reservations and are hoping to break attendance records this year! We are so excited to have the FAB Lab as a part of this year’s event. The lab will be ready for tours at 11:00 AM and will be leaving at 12:30 PM. Call the Chamber at 536-7351 or info@ejchamber.org to reserve your spot.
The East Jordan Holiday Community Night is now less than one month away!! Thursday, December 4 will soon be here. WOW! The Chamber Office is finalizing the schedule of activities for the annual holiday event. Along with the traditional Tree Lighting, Caroling, Visit with Santa Claus, Soup Cook-off, Business Open Houses, Make and Take Craft at the Jordan River Arts Council, we are bringing back the Holiday Basket Give-Away. Businesses are invited to donate on item or gift certificate to the basket which will be given away on Thursday, Dec. 4 at 7:30 PM at the Community Center. To be eligible to win the basket, customers must be given entry forms to put into the box at the center that evening. These businesses who donate an item to the basket will be given official entry forms from the Chamber Office to give their customers who make a purchase on Dec. 1,2,3 and up to 7:00 PM on Thursday Night Dec. 4. It is the customer’s responsibility to turn their entry forms into the box at the Community Center. This is a great way to encourage shopping in our community businesses and to get more people into town on Community Night. To be a part of this holiday promotion drop off your product or gift certificate at the Chamber Office or call the office to make arrangements for pick-up. In addition….participating “Basket Businesses” will be given an opportunity to have a space for a table/display downtown on Community Night to sell gift certificates, product, etc. If interested, please contact the Chamber. This is an ideal way for our out-of-town member businesses to be a part of Community Night Festivities and to make some additional revenue for your business!! (Push those gift certificates!)
