Business Referrals
Every day, the Chamber fields many calls and/or visits from people asking for a reference. Much of the detailed information is mailed, e-mailed or faxed to supplement what is answered by phone or in person: Where can I find a plumber? Who can help me with my tax problem? What is the number of a bed & breakfast in town?
The Chamber always refers its members. Industry specific lists are distributed by the Chamber upon request, such as lodging, dining, realtors, meeting facilities, and any others that are requested. This information is also available on the Chamber website.
