President's Message
As if we had forgotten, we've had
two harsh reminders of why this place was first called Waterfield. Many
of us have suffered losses of property and business as a result of the
back to back storms. Thanks to the DPW and public safety staff
of Winchester, these unpleasant and expensive disruptions have, for
the most part, been manageable.
On a brighter note, the beta version
of the data base search features have been installed on the Chamber
website thanks to Glen Doyle and the coding gnomes at WinCentral.
A searchable data base link has been established to allowing queries
by name or keyword of our membership listings. In addition, an alphabet
search can be made of the all business listings for Winchester with
Chamber member businesses coming up at the top. In the final
version, due next month, both search modes will be available for both
locations on the website. The best feature is the direct link to
individual
business websites from the search results field; this should generate
traffic to our sites.
The listing format allows a picture
or logo to be posted as well as a text block which is searched for
keywords.
The process is simple: log on to the WinCentral website, verify
your business name, fill in the membership form, add a picture, add
some text, and hit save. That's all there is to it; there is no cost
and it takes about five minutes to get it all done.
Thanks to Kim and Dot for their efforts
in bringing the Women Helping Women event together. I hope you
will encourage the women in your life to purchase tickets for the April
7 event, it should be a fun time.
