President’s Message

Warm weather has officially arrived and the River Valley Chamber is bursting with opportunities. We are constantly striving to engage you our members to grow, network and prosper.

I am personally very excited to be serving as the new president for this term and look forward to walking hand and hand with you as individuals and business as we together achieve personal and professional growth.

There are many events available now and in the upcoming months to allow for great showcasing for you and your business.

The 8th Annual Franklin Savings/Rumford Rotary & River Valley Chamber Golf Tournament is back; scheduled for July 6th @ Oakdale Country Club. This is a great community event and many ways to become engaged in it. We encourage all to come on out and support the businesses, volunteers and organizations in our area and become “part” of the community. Community pride is something to be proud of and we are of you!

Community Adopt-A Spot; perhaps this is more your style; call today to show your support through caring for this spot throughout the season all the while showcasing your business.

With warm weather brings tourist season and we are here to welcome our visitors. The Rumford Information Center has an amazing bunch of volunteers on hand to assist the tourists stopping in. The new Four Season Guide Book has arrived and we proudly claim, “It is a must have” if you live, work or travel in the River Valley. The Chamber puts out yearly and every tourist that walks into the Information Center will walk out with one of them.

It is not too late to join YOUR Chamber. We have wonderful benefits of being a Chamber member and at a very affordable dues fee. If you are not a member and have a business here in the River Valley you are missing out on a great deal of networking, advertising and potential sales.

Have a voice in your community; join our Board of Directors. Community Leaders come in a variety of forms and it is what makes up a wonderful team. Call today to see what it is that you can do to support this team. Pick up your application to become a director. Take pride in your community and get involved today.

Let’s take the journey together!
