Promote your business and job openings:
The Seward Area Chamber of Commerce is partnering with Seward County Economic Development Corporation at an upcoming job fair titled "Rural Opportunities Job Fair". The event is hosted by the University of Nebraska's Rural Futures Institute, is schedule for Oct. 21st, and is intended to connect students with rural communities and businesses. The fair will allow students to explore internship, job, social and business opportunities in rural Nebraska. This is a first-time event and we encourage all businesses and organizations in Seward County to send us any job openings, internship opportunities, and other opportunities that we can promote during this event. If you send them to us by email or fax no later than October 15th, we will include them in the information that will be shared at the Seward County booth at this job fair. This is a free opportunity to promote your business and job opportunities to potential job candidates.
Don't forget that as a Seward Area Chamber member, you can post your job openings FREE on the Chamber website (www.sewardne.com/jobs) . Contact us if you want to learn how to post these or send to us and we will post for you!

A few sponsorships remain available for the 2015 Christmas parade. Please contact me if you'd like to sponsor:
· Push floats (1 available at $100)
· Marshmallow Float - $150
· Gingerbread House Float - $350
Each year, hundreds of dollars are donated by businesses and individuals to help with all of the fun parts and activities that make up the Christmas Festival. The Christmas Committee has been hard at work in pulling all of the pieces and minute details together to ensure that many favorite Christmas stories are shared during and after this year's festival. We have created a donation link on our website through our PayPal account and encourage anyone who would like to contribute any amount, $5.00, $20.00, $50.00, $100.00 or more, to do so through this online link. You can designate a certain part of the Christmas Festival that you'd like your donation to be targeted or just to the general Christmas Festival through the Seward Chamber of Commerce. Donations can also be dropped off or mailed to the Seward Area Chamber of Commerce.
We thank you for your love and support of this annual event.
