President's MessageJudy Manzo  

Okay, so many businesses move into a summer slow-down -  you can still put this time to good use.   While on vacation I invite you to pause from reading that new book you picked up at Winchester's own bookstore and think about new ways to market and expand your business.  For example, Lori and Ray from Pairings and  Julie and Joe from Piantodosi's Bread Shoppe are  featuring cooking and wine books in their stores in partnership with Book Ends. Lori also worked as the luncheon caterer with the recent Garden Tour sponsored by the Chamber and garden clubs.  Eric Keogh from Kids Footstop has created a program with Book Ends and the toy store to give customers an incentive to visit more than one store when downtown this July.  I invite ALL of you to take a walk around our lovely downtown this month.  Stop in and say hello to some wonderful shop keepers and check out their offerings.  We have all sorts of Winchester businesses beautifully featured in our new Chamber Directory recently mailed to each local household.

So think and act on that idea and let the Chamber hear about your experience.

Happy Summer!

Executive Director's messageCathyPortrait

  

I am pleased to announce that for the first time since the inception of the chamber, we will now be OPEN during the months of July and August .  Our hours will be from Tuesday thru Thursday from nine to twelve.  Please feel free to leave a message on the other days, and we will do our best to return them in a timely manner.
 
Our garden tour was a huge success thanks to the generosity of twelve homeowners, Dr. and Mrs Kilmer McCully who hosted our luncheon in their carriage house and to the volunteers from Coldwell Banker, Waterfield Sotheby, Century 21, Shannahan Real Estate and Judy Virnelli and Janet Wolbrom who were at all the homes to check over 200 visitors into the gardens.  The chairperson, Dot Butler once again did the lion's share of the work-hat's off to you Dot.
