NEWSLETTER - OCTOBER 2019
CLEARVIEW CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
We have exciting news!!! The Stayner Chamber of Commerce is now operating as the Clearview Chamber of Commerce. This change will brand the Chamber as a much more inclusive Chamber for businesses in the surrounding villages, bringing several communities together through camaraderie, member benefits, education, and events.
As exciting as this change is, and as quickly as we wish to make this change, it will need to happen gradually over time. The Chamber must now discuss topics such as village committees, chamber structure, branding, and a new logo, just to name a few. Events will not immediately expand past Stayner but will do so over time as we evolve.
To expedite the Clearview Chamber initiative, the Stayner Chamber of Commerce will remain the legal business name for the change.
The Chamber is excited to grow and expand to include more villages and businesses in our beautiful Clearview Township. We hope for increased membership, increased input, and more volunteers to expand our events and make them better each year.
Welcome to the Clearview Chamber of Commerce!
WELCOME
Welcome to the Clearview Chamber Hillbilly Acres, Habitat For Humanity, and Stayner Curling Club!
