Thank you for your renewals!

Renewals are flooding in and we thank you all for your continued memberships with us!

This year, per the membership survey results, we have decided to do something a little different, instead of membership postcards to insert into your plaques, we are mailing out membership stickers. These can be affixed to your business windows or doors. Should you require, or prefer a postcard for your plaque, please let us know, we can print those as requested, but please note there may be additional wait time.

We will be mailing out these stickers over the course of the next couple weeks as renewals come in, so keep your eyes open for yours!
