Chamber North Shore Map is Online

Aloha and Merry Christmas!

1. The North Shore Map. This is YOUR map. This is designed to support you folks and drive business to you. Dole Plantation has a coupon on their ad and they find that it works! So don’t miss out on signing up again. Last time I checked, our map cost much less and we print every 6 months instead of 9 mos. like the Map Guys.

2. I received quite a few calls about the enforcement of the Sign regulations and other issues that’s been going on recently. And, no, the Chamber did not make the complaint! We support our members and definitely try to educate you all about the sign and other regulations, but we would not complain. The City’s enforcement is complaint driven; they don’t make routine sweeps. We are working to have the City wait until after Christmas to proceed. Keep your fingers crossed.

3. For those of you who have not paid your dues yet this year, we now have the option of paying in 4 installments of $40 or you can still pay the whole $150 at one time and save $10. Membership dues are the main way we survive and we appreciate all your support. Remember, we are a 501 c 3 so dues and donations are tax deductible. I know most of you don’t need tax deductions this year, but it doesn’t hurt that they’re deductible. Contact Wendy at our office if you would like to do the installments.

4. Finally, on behalf of the Board of Directors and myself, I would like to wish all of you a wonderful Christmas. Most of all, we wish you a prosperous New Year’s. Thank you for all your support over the past year. We’ve made some real progress this past year and I look forward to working with all of you this next year to make even more.

Aloha nui,
Antya
