Today is the day to get your 2009 dues paid (by 4 p.m.) to be included in the Community Guide. I’m sending them the current list of members at 4:30 p.m. Call the office at 847-825-3121 to make payment arrangements.
As I mentioned, last year there some who promised to pay so they were included in the Community Guide in good faith and then they never did renew. At the end of this email, look for your name and if its there, you’re in. If it’s not there, call me.
Don’t forget that the Community Guide reaches more than 14,000 households and businesses in Park Ridge. This annual guide is the community resource for local information. Area residents rely on it for local information including schools, clubs and organizations, government and City information and so much more.
As a chamber member, you get a free listing both alphabetically and categorically in the business and service directory.
Our basic membership with 1 to 5 employees is only $210 for the entire year! It includes dozens of networking events and opportunities – and we only refer our members to the various callers we get at the Chamber office on a daily basis.
Please call me now to renew your membership!
