Chamber members can now post "Hot Deals" at www.huntingdonchamber.com. Hot deals are short term specials/coupons. The Chamber is offering this opportunity free to members through October 2014. Log in to the Member Login section to post your "Hot Deal." The October 3 Chamber News that is published in the Daily News will be driving the community to the site to see the deals you have posted. 

We are excited to introduce our new website at www.huntingdonchamber.com. The new site looks cleaner, is easier to navigate and offers new opportunities for you, our members. We will be rolling them out over the next few weeks, but for now we want to introduce the opportunity for you to post jobs on our website for free. All you need to do is go to our site and log into the members only section. While you are there you can register for events and pay your bills too. You can also change your contact information. 

Memberships that are not paid by October 21 will result in you being removed from out membership list. If you do not want your membership to be canceled, please send your membership investment to the Chamber office at 500 Allegheny Street, Huntingdon, PA 16652. Please note that non-membership in the Huntingdon County Chamber of Commerce results in your business no longer having access to the benefits and privileges of Chamber membership, including:

• Free promotion in our newly revised Community Profile and Membership Directory
• New opportunities we are rolling out on our new website at www.huntingdonchamber.com
• Referrals - we only refer callers and visitors to member businesses
• Opportunity to have your voice heard in Harrisburg and Washington D.C.

• Opportunity to contact the Chamber with issues and let us help you find the answers. 

I hope that you will renew your membership promptly. Please know that your business is always welcome as a member of the Huntingdon County Chamber of Commerce and if there are any questions we can answer, please do not hesitate to contact us as we'd love to visit with you to discuss ways you can make the most of your membership.

The Chamber still needs volunteers to write a 120 word article on why they love their hometown (in Huntingdon County). The article will then be run in The Daily News the first Wednesday of the month with a informal head shot photo.
