"I am so thankful for the Chamber's guidance and support during Covid last year. They were the first to keep us updated with Illinois guidelines from the Governor and also how to seek out assistance for loans and grants.  In addition, they were always willing to help promote local businesses during the year by including us in their social media.  Always a great job!"

"Before I got involved with the Chamber of Commerce, I got to a point where traffic at my store had really started to slow down.  I was only relying on older styles of advertising and just didn't know where to turn next.  Once I joined, and started getting involved and going to different events, I met so many people who helped me figure new ways to connect with people.  Just a few short years later, I am as busy as ever and feel more connected to this great community!"

--Shaun Carter, Britt Carter Interiors

 

 

"The Chamber has been great and has helped promote and spread the word about our business thru initiatives like EAT SHOP PLAY and SHOP LOCAL. Also, we love in the Chamber Checks program that keeps dollars in our local communities."
