Happy New Year from the Manchester Area Chamber of Commerce!

On Wednesday, January 26, the Chamber of Commerce will hold its General Membership meeting, at the Village office conference room at 6:30 pm. Light refreshments will be available.

The purpose of this meeting is to gather the membership to elect new officers and trustees for the 2022-23 board. Due to COVID, this has not been done for the past two years.

The Chamber will also plan to discuss the events planned for 2022 and would like your feedback on the 2021 events that were held to promote Chamber members. We would love to know which ones, if any, impact the businesses or community and how we can better serve you.

The board has been working with the Manchester Mirror to spotlight a variety of different MACC member businesses throughout the year. The questionnaire was originally sent out to members in September, but the board received back very few in 2021. If you haven’t yet filled out your questionnaire, check the attachment in the most recent message from the Chamber board and return it to manchester48158@gmail.com, or bring it to the meeting.

If you are unable to attend in person, the meeting also will be made available on Zoom.

To learn more about the benefits of participating in the Manchester Area Chamber of Commerce, email the chamber board to become a member.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
