Greetings Members,
First, thank you for your membership. The Lancaster Chamber of Commerce continues to be the oldest and largest chamber in the greater Antelope Valley because of your investment in our staff, office and business resources.
In case you missed it, March was another exciting month for chamber:
- Seven of the nine candidates running for Los Angeles County Supervisor in the 5th District joined us for our monthly Luncheon. I appreciate their attendance and encourage them to connect with our members. I also want to thank our Chair-Elect and Westside Union School Superintendent, Gina Rossall, for moderating the forum.
- The Chamber welcomed several new members, including PMD Pharmacy and EZ Auto Center #3. If you have not stopped by EZ Auto Center #3, they have the largest inventory of engines and transmissions for the most popular makes and models of cars and trucks in stock.
- We had another great Business-4-Breakfast sponsored by our friends at Caliber Collision!
April is a month to "spring" into action with your 2016 business plans and I encourage all of our members to take advantage of one of the many benefits that come with a Lancaster Chamber of Commerce Membership, including (but not limited to):
- Reserve your space for the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce's Flea Market and Shop Local Showcase on Sunday, May 1st. This year, we are celebrating the Flea's 50th anniversary and you won't want to miss this super-sized event!
- Book your spot on the Minding Your Business radio show with hosts Chris Spicher and Aaron Goldstein. Taped weekly, this is your opportunity share your business via radio and webcast.
- Set up your FREE member page on the chamber website, lancasterchamber.org. Even if you're not tech savvy, our chamber services team can take your logo, photos and business info and build the page for you. It doesn't get much easier or cheaper to have a webpage than this!
There is real value in your Lancaster Chamber of Commerce membership. Let us be a part of your business success!
Josh Mann
2015/2016 Chairman of the Board
