By now, many of you have received "Our Place in Time," the 2013 business directory, which celebrates the 90th anniversary of our Chamber. I think you'll agree that the publication is impressive, a fitting tribute to the nine-decade legacy that we at the Chamber have inherited. We are proud to continue that tradition of leadership and excellence. The Chamber, and by that I mean you, our members, play an important role in the continued success of our city. One of our goals as an organization is being the voice that unites business, and it's a responsibility we take seriously.
If you haven't received your copy yet, it's coming soon. There is a lot of content to digest. We have dug up some great photos and information from our archives, and for those who don't know the history of our organization, this is a great primer for getting to know who we are, where we come from and what we do.
One of the main things I want to talk about this month is about the importance of the back end of the book, the business directory. One of the advantages of being a Chamber member, one of the reasons why "Membership Counts", is that whenever someone comes to us or calls the office looking for a specific product or purpose, we only refer them to Chamber members. In fact, we always refer them to all of our members in the particular category, not just one. And, whenever we give a referral, we let you know about it.
As a member of this Chamber, I ask that you consider using this business directory, and our updated online directory at www.carlsbad.org, when you're looking for your own services. If you're going to do business in Carlsbad, consider a Chamber member first. Grab the book, look up the category that suits your needs and give them a call or visit them online. And when you make that contact, please make sure to let them know that you're a member and that you found them through us. Also, you may be able to take advantage of our member-to-member discounts.
If you enjoy the book, consider giving one to a non-member, and use it as a way to get involved in our Refer and Earn program (see our ad on page 16). You could earn cool prizes, not to mention that by bringing in another Chamber member, you're helping us grow and helping us continue our tradition of excellence for the next 90 years. You get to hit two birds with one stone!
Finally, I would like to thank those Chamber members named below, who have volunteered their time to distribute the directories and our 2013 Chamber Member plaques. Not only are they helping us save on shipping costs, but they add that personal touch that we always strive to add to our endeavors.
