Beginning February 1st, the Chamber of Commerce will have Chamber Bucks available for sale in the Chamber Office. Chamber Buck will be sold in $10 increments and and accepted by Chamber member businesses. Look for the Chamber Bucks signage so that you know who is accepting Chamber Bucks. This is part of the Chamber's Shop Local campaign. Here's how it works - for example..... Sue Jones come into the Chamber to buy $50 in Chamber Bucks for John Jones for Valentine's Day. Sue gets 5 $10 Chamber Bucks along with a list of current Chamber member businesses to give to John. John takes his Chamber Buck to Four Season's Sports and Outdoors and uses $30 worth to buy fishing supplies. He uses the other $20 worth at Breece's when he takes Sue out to eat. Four Seasons and Breeces later take the Chamber Bucks they received to the Chamber Office and are reimbursed for the full value of the Bucks.
Chamber Bucks will be a benefit to businesses that do not already have gift certificates. It will also benefit folks who like to shop local, but are unsure what gift to purchase for someone. You could purchase Chamber Bucks to donate to your favorite charity or church so they can be used to buy needed items. They will make great gifts for birthday, Valentine's, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Christmas, etc. The Chamber website will soon have a list of participating members.
