“Striving to Enhance the Quality of our Community”  

Dear Local Business, 

It’s that time of year again to come out and support your Chamber of Commerce. Now more than ever, as small business owners we need to tap local resources for support and ideas on how we as an organization can grow our businesses. The most important thing you can do for your business is to market and network with your fellow Chamber members to keep commerce strong and viable in our town. 

We are making every effort to improve the local economic climate including promoting our organization, organizing an annual street fair, informing our Chamber members via email, upgrading the Chamber website and creating a new Facebook and Twitter page. We will also continue working with our elected officials on matters that affect our businesses and community.            

We encourage you to visit the West Hempstead Chamber of Commerce website at www.westhempsteadchamberofcommerce.com on Facebook at West Hempstead Chamber of Commerce and on Twitter at @WHChamberofComm. 

            We encourage you to be an active member of our Chamber and join the membership. We have over 90 members and we would like to surpass that in 2013.  The annual dues are $100 and we hold our general meetings every second Tuesday of the month at various locations throughout town. We hope that you can take advantage of all the marketing, networking and socializing opportunities we present. Finally, for your convenience a list of member benefits has been attached. Please take a look at what you may be missing and what our current members already know…That membership is a GREAT deal! 

                                                            Sincerely, 

                                                                        Karl Riesterer, Sr.
                                                                        President
