Hello Monett Chamber Members!

The topic of this edition's newsletter is communication - how frequently would you like it, in what ways do you want to be reached?  

We currently have a website with a calendar which features a community option - as a Member, you can submit for this.

The Monett Chamber is working to develop its Facebook page for event, community and Member notifications. 

We are trying to send out an electronic newsletter bi-monthly, but after reviewing open statistics this is not as effective as one would hope.

Starting July 13th, we will also be starting back up our "Chamber Chat" on 95.9 FM.  on the second and fourth Fridays of each month at 9:15 a.m.

Would you be interested in text message reminders that you can opt-in for?

It has been suggested that a paper newsletter and mailed invitations may be the best way to reach the Members, and could also serve as an additional advertising method for you to reach your fellow Chamber Members. Would you be interested in having a newsletter delivered to your mailbox? Please let me know. 

Don't forget to check the mail for two upcoming opportunities (or read about them here) - Welcome our teachers and new Superintendent, and the new Chamber cookbook.  

Working toward our mutual growth and success,

Jeff Meredith, Executive Director
