Sandwich Chamber

Greetings!

 

Big things on the horizon I'd like call to your attention:

  • Our website is getting a new look! By September we will be launching the new site, specially designed with more information and better organized information to appeal to visitors AND more compelling design for consumers to look for Chamber members when they need a product or service.  The website redesign was funded by the Boardwalk Ball in May and we can't wait to take it live soon!
  • Our Business Plan for facility expansion is almost finished, which means we will be ready to move forward with building the Chamber a permanent home at the site of the exisiting Visitors Center on Route 130.  Consolidating the administrative offices, visitors center, providng public restooms there and having space of our own will greatly enhance our ability to serve both members and visitors! More specifics to follow this fall.
  • Things are proceeding with pedestrian and bike planning in the Village /Merchants Square/Marina area.  2012 will bring expanded work on planning for Village Revitaliziation to enhance this crucial economic center.
  • Save the date for our Annual Meeting - October 18th.  By being a voting, engaged, participating member of the Chamber you can help shape the future of Sandwich's business community and initiatives.

Casual Gourmet Celebrates 25 Years with Cape Cod Hospital Emergency Department Fundraiser

 

Olive and Dave Chase of Marstons Mills know firsthand the importance of the Cape Cod Hospital Emergency Department. "The Cape Cod Hospital Emergency Department has been very important to my family over many, many years," Olive recently stated.   

That is why Olive, the founder and owner of the Casual Gourmet, will celebrate the anniversary of their 25th year in business by giving back to the community with a fund raiser to benefit the hospital's emergency department. To raise funds for the Emergency Department, raffle tickets are being offered by the Cape Cod Healthcare Foundation for one dollar each. The Casual Gourmet is matching all ticket sales and proceeds will be donated directly to the hospital.

 

Tickets will be available at The Casual Gourmet in Centerville, The Casual Gourmet Express at Cape Cod Mall, The Casual Gourmet Express in the lobby of Cape Cod Hospital, and at the Cape Cod Hospital Gift Shop. Anyone purchasing five or more raffle tickets will receive a free cup of coffee from The Casual Gourmet. Weekly drawings will be held for a $25 gift certificate to the Casual Gourmet and a grand prize drawing will be held on September 2nd for a $250 Casual Gourmet gift certificate. Raffle tickets will be on sale at all locations through September 2.
