Greetings:
We finally have a date scheduled for our Web Page Development Workshop! The Workshop will replace our regularly scheduled meeting in December and will be held in the computer lab at South Whidbey High School. Every member of the Chamber has the option of creating a personalized webpage that can be easily updated or changed. You can write text, post specials, add links to other websites, upload photos and graphics, and more.
During the workshop we will teach you how to create your page and provide you with assistance to complete it before you leave. It is simple and easy...and there is no additional cost! We will be sending out additional information, but you will need to RSVP at info@discoverclintonwa.com before noon on Tuesday, December 1st! At that time we will open any remaining slots to members of the Langley and Freeland chambers. We are still trying to schedule a Saturday morning workshop for those of you who can't make it to a weekday evening.
Along those lines, do you want to do something special at your business on Saturday, December 5th? Several downtown businesses are going to have holiday open houses. We can combine efforts and advertise. If you are interested let us know right away!
Thank you....more to come as the date approaches!
Best wishes--
