Greetings!

Wasn't it just "back to school time"?  Well get ready for Thanksgiving and the Holidays!
 
Come join us for some holiday cheer at our Breakfast Networking Event Dec 7th or go shopping on Nov 26th to support local businesses during "Small Business Saturday" and get FREE PARKING - thanks to the Chamber!  (See more details below).

For those on your list who are hard to find gifts for, the tried and true LOCAL gift is the....
Shop Arlington 1st Gift Certificate

We look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming events or around town as the busy holiday season is here!  Especially this time of year, remember to
Shop Arlington 1st!

The Arlington Chamber 
         Free Saturday Parking starts
      Sat. Nov 26th through December!






The Chamber initiated and the Arlington Board of Selectmen approved free parking in Arlington on Saturdays starting on November 26 to co-incide with Small Business Saturday.  Free Saturday parking will continue throughout December.  We hope that your business will benefit from the free parking initiative, designed to encourage residents to shop locally rather than going to a big box store.  

We appreciate the Board of Selectman and YOUR Chamber of Commerce for continuing to support our local business community!
