Chamber Update for the Week!

Is it just me or does this week seem like the longest week ever?
Our office was closed for President's Day so Tuesday felt like a Monday!
The weather this week also gave us some snow and ice, which paired with the cold weather today makes every sidewalk an ice skating rink!

This morning Warren's Village Hardware in Lewiston, NY saved the day with some ice melt! 

Here are some things we have been up to this week!

~Our marketing committee met on Monday and discussed our popular "Come and Play" calendar publication.  It's a popular handout that contains the major festivals/events in our region.  The consensus is that there are too many events listed in the publication last year resulting in a small font!  This year we will focus on the major events and festivals that bring a draw to Lewiston and neighboring communities.  Advertising opportunities are LIMITED but available!  Click here for more info.

~The Lewiston Business Group met on Tuesday and discussed the upcoming Sip, Shop and Eat event on March 11th.  Click here for the meeting summary.

~Jennifer attended her first Fund for the Arts Committee meeting with the Community Foundation of Buffalo. A lot of great things happening in our region!

~Jennifer attended the Niagara Falls National Heritage Area Board of Directors meeting.

~We had three new members this week!   Community Bank - Joe Sorce, Lewiston Porter Football & Cheerleading and Derek Douglas Photography!  WELCOME!

~On Saturday, February 18th, Jennifer and Suzanne represented the Chamber at the Niagara Wine Trail's 20th Anniversary dinner at The View.  It was a great evening celebrating the wine trail and our member wine trail businesses!  It was a great night to catch up with old friends and make some new ones!  We shared a table with Becky from the NF Boys & Girls Club and Chris Marra from M&T Bank. 

~Susie, our Executive Assistant, went through all of the brochures in our Welcome Center and got rid of a lot of old information!   If your business or organization has new brochures / business cards / info, please drop it off to our office!  We have a steady flow of visitors, members and residents stopping by our office daily!

~Information for advertising on the Lewiston map went out to members this week.  If you are interested, click here for more info.
