Chamber Coins - a reminder

It has come to our attention that some members are still accepting paper Chamber Bucks, which were replaced years ago by the Chamber Coins. The last call for redeeming paper Chamber Bucks went out in 2008 or so.

The Chamber will not redeem
paper Chamber Bucks. Please ensure that you inform your staff that only Chamber Coins are valid. The coins are all the same size and come in denominations of $1 (silver colour), $5 (blue) and $10 (gold).

While we are on the subject of Chamber Coins, Christmas is not far off and it is time to start thinking about employee bonuses. Chamber Coins make a perfect bonus, giving more flexibility than gift certificates and also encouraging your staff to support local businesses.

Chamber lunch September 22

Good morning! I am taking lunch orders for our Chamber meeting on next week Wednesday, September 22.

We will be meeting at the Happy Landing Restaurant, lunch to start at 12 noon. It is always a good idea to arrive a couple of minutes early to pay for lunch and get a seat.

Al Richmond, the Cariboo Regional District Chair, will speak and take questions from 12:30 onwards. Up for discussion is the Forest Capital of Canada designation that the Cariboo Regional District has been honoured with for 2010-2011. I have asked Al to speak about what this designation means for business in the South Cariboo. We are aiming to wrap up by 1 pm.

Lunch will be $15, tax and gratuity included.

Please confirm your attendance with me and let me know what menu choice you would like one of three selections:

bacon swiss cheese burger with Caesar or garden salad;
open-face shrimp sandwich with Caesar or garden salad;
Cariboo lunch schnitzel with mushroom sauce, pasta and veg
Coffee and tea will be served after lunch.

Book your seat at 250-395-6124 or manager@southcariboochamber.org
