Take one morning to visit over 100
people!
A special AM Business
Connection will be held Friday, December 4 as the Chamber hosts
the annual Charities Showcase, a kick off to the holiday season.
This special ABC, presented by sponsor Adventist Health, will be
held at the Milwaukie Center, a generous site gift from North
Clackamas Parks and Recreation. Not for profit charitable
social service agency members of the Chamber have an opportunity
for a showcase booth at the event, and other members attending
will then have time to visit booths and find out more about the
charities and their needs during the season and through the
year. The regular ABC time frame
of 7:30 to 9 am will be followed for this special opportunity.
Plan now to attend, and if
you are connected to a charity member of the chamber plan now to
have a showcase. Call Debra at the Chamber office 503-654-7777

Map project on hold
Your Chamber has agreed to put the North Clackamas County
Chamber of Commerce regional map on hold until early 2010.
"We don't want to over-burden member businesses at this time. With
holiday season upon us, it is the right thing to do to put the project
on hold until early 2010" stated President/CEO Wilda Parks. "This
has always been a very successful project but this year we got a late
start. We will be making the opportunity to market your business
in the map project available after holiday season". |
