UPCOMING Events
Keep our dollars local, Think Big and Shop Small! “Local businesses are more likely to utilize other local businesses such as banks, service providers, and farms. For every $100 you spend at local businesses, $68 will stay in the community. Independent retailers return Deidre Martinez more than three times as much money per dollar of sales to the community in which they operate than chain competitors. Independent restaurants return more than two times as much money per dollar of sales than national restaurant chains. And Small businesses employ 77 million Americans and accounted for 65% of all new jobs over the past 17 years.”

Chamber Holiday Edition
— US Small Business Association and US Department of Labor With the holidays upon us, I cannot stress enough the importance of shopping local. When you shop online $0 dollars stay in our community! With that said, I had a blast celebrating Small Business Saturday on November 26th. I was able to travel all over Sheboygan County visiting Chamber member businesses (more than 38 locations), surprising local shoppers with free Chamber Cash and providing treats and goodies to businesses along the way. Of course, it is fun to surprise local folks with free money, but I also know that 100% of the value of that Chamber Cash will be spent in one of our Chamber member businesses, so everyone wins. If you are not sure what to purchase your loved ones, stop into the Chamber office and purchase some Chamber Cash today! As the end of the year approaches, I want to personally thank all members for your continued support of the Chamber. To celebrate another successful year of doing business in Sheboygan County, I invite you to join us on December 15th for a vibe@5 right here at the Chamber office. We are busy transforming our space into a holiday extravaganza and ordering tasty treats and libations to share with you all. There is no fee to attend, but we do ask that you register online HERE and dress to impress in your favorite holiday fare.
