Greetings, Chamber Members.

As our summer is heating up, so are our upcoming events.  Our valued members of The Red Hook Chamber of Commerce have voiced their enthusiasm for breakfast meetings, mixers and other special events and we have listened.
 
We will be having our monthly breakfast in August at The Red Hook Golf Club.  Stay after breakfast and play a round of golf.  It is so important for our members to connect with each other and we recognize the need and purpose of the Red Hook Chamber to help contribute to building strong business relationships in Red Hook and its surrounding areas.
 
Whether you come out to a breakfast meeting, after hours business mixer, special event, or join one of our committees, we want you to realize the Chamber is all about you and your business.  We need your participation.  Let's talk about your business and get to know your current and potential customers.  Meet fellow business owners.  Grow your business.  The possibilities are endless if you join and become part of our team.
 
Every month you can expect a breakfast and we would like to see you there.  It’s a great way to start your day and get in touch with hot local topics that matter to all of us.
 
This October, The Red Hook Chamber of Commerce will be partnering with The Rhinebeck Chamber of Commerce and Bard College to present the first of its kind business/career expo in the northern dutchess area.  All businesses are invited to showcase and be a part of this event.  As a business vendor you can represent your business on a large scale and reach out to those seeking employment or a potential customer you may not be able to normally reach.  We expect a high attendance and it will be a well publicized event.  
 
Our website is really an extension of your business so please take advantage of our “Hot Deals” section. Let your customers and clients know your special deal by reaching all our members and visitors at www.redhookchamber.org
 
Summer is about relaxation and vacation but you should always stay on top of business. We are here to help you and will make it easy.
 
Looking forward to seeing you at our next event and enjoy the summer.
    

Very best regards,

Ed Pruitt
