President's Message
Chris Mullen
  
As we move into the short, cruel month of February, the focus of the Chamber is on membership.  We welcome two new businesses to town:  Edward Jones at 535 Main Street and the Winchester Center for Acupuncture and Health upstairs from the Computer CafĂ© at 600 Main Street.
 
Membership renewals were recently mailed; please return your check as soon as possible.  Membership dues are the largest single source of revenue for the Chamber.   I also urge you to reach out to the vendors you use and ask them to join the Chamber.  Our biggest strength is in business to business relationships;  the folks we each trade with are the best source of new members for our group.  The cost is low and the benefits are huge - membership is a bargain.

Special thanks to James Alexander for hosting the Business After Hours event last month at Winchester Wine & Spirits. It was well attended and everyone had a great time.
I urge you to support this program, it's a fun way to stay in touch, catch up with other members, and meet new business owners.
If you would like to host a Business After Hours just drop us an email at the Chamber office and we'll make arrangements with you and get you on the calendar.
