Dear Chamber Members,
 
We are proud to announce the inception of  the Crested Butte/Mt. Crested Butte Think Local First project!
 
The mission of Think Local First is to strengthen economic prosperity in the community by encouraging residents and visitors to spend their money in the local economy and to educate consumers about the benefits of doing so. 
 
Our vision is to promote the Think Local First campaign within the community so that it becomes a recognized household 'brand' name, thus affecting consumers' buying decisions in favor of spending their money in the local economy when and where they can.
 
We encourage and look forward to your support and participation of TLF as business owners in this wonderful place we call home.

Best,
Kristen
