President's Message - 2010
 
Chris Mullen
   So, we begin again. As the calendar turns and the days begin to lengthen, we look forward to warmer, sunnier days and to an improving economy.  We complain, but we should be counting our blessings; while we have taken some hits here in Winchester, we have not fallen as far as many others. 
  Still, it's a long way to springtime and a long road back to the thriving economy we enjoyed a few years back.  By working together to affect small changes at the local level, we shorten that road. Shopping locally keeps our money within our community. Spring will come.
  In the meantime, join me in enjoying the crisp, clear days and nights of our New England winter.

          
                                              Chris Mulhern, president 
Winchester Wine & Spirits
Business After Hours Meeting will be held at Winchester Wine & Spirits on Wednesday January 20th 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm 632 Main Street. Owner James Alexander will be on hand to answer all your questions and you'll get to sample some great wines too.              rsvp if you're coming

 
Cathy  Support your Chamber for 2010
 
Support each other - Chamber members unite!! We need you to help spread the word that an investment in the Chamber has so many advantages!!
 
We need to really make an effort to shop and do business with each other.  We are the only organization in our community that is dedicated to promoting and serving businesses and fostering a strong economic climate.  Chamber members identify yourselves to each other - refer and promote each other within our organization.
We saved many of you by continually convincing the selectmen to not impose additional taxes on commercial property owners?  The ripple effect is enormous.  Can you imagine what our center area would have been like during the month of december without the magnificent lighting display which the Chamber provided?  We are looking forward to a new bistro style restaurant in the spring because we were able to make the rules and regulations for alcohol licenses more adaptable to the type of space we have here in Winchester. 
Please renew your membership and recruit other business people to join with us to make 2010 one of the most successful for everyone who does business in our community.
Cathy Alexander
Executive Director
