Page 6 Community Activities They say “recognition is the greatest motivator”--and that’s exactly what’s fueling the Chamber this autumn! Check out all the ways the Chamber is recognizing our 2016 mem- bers. Social Media If you haven’t “liked” the Pine Island Area Chamber on facebook yet, you are surely miss- ing out! Whenever our Chamber members host ice cream socials, open houses, specials, and more, we “share” those on our page. To stay in the loop-- and since you’re on face- book already--help the Chamber reach 500 likes this year. Once you like that photo on facebook, make sure to patronize these businesses and support these organizations! Website Our website is updated weekly with meeting updates, upcoming community events, and more! Utilize the “Community Calendar” to plan your days off or submit a community event of your own. See a complete list of who's on our 2016 roster on the “Member Direc- tory” page of our website (http://goo.gl/zTU1pX). Display Cases Besides a list of logos online, Chamber members are highlighted in the display cases around town. A large map of Pine Island at the City Park shows the locations of our 2016 brick-and-mortar members. This is the perfect opportunity to showcase our Chamber members to out-of-towners visiting our community--foot traffic, bicyclists, and those driv- ing into and around town. Certificates New this year, the Chamber distributed framed certificates to our 2016 Chamber mem- bers. Our members proudly display these in their businesses for the community to see! “When consumers know that a small business is a member of the Chamber of Commerce, they are 44% more likely to think favorably of it and 63% more likely to purchase goods or services from the company in the future.
