Kruise Night is Coming!

Thursday June 9th, is the very first 2011 Winnemucca Kruise Night of the season...and we’re looking for some vendors. This is the perfect opportunity for your non-profit organization, club, or affiliation to do a little self-promotion. There is no fee for a ’vendor’ or information table. You just need to call the Chamber office to sign up.



Both sides of Bridge street will be blocked off for a night of fun, food, music, and flashy cars. “We’re expecting all the car clubs to participate, but even if you don’t belong to a car club, and think your car is cool enough to show off, bring it on down,” says Chamber President Betty Lawrence, “We would also encourage local downtown businesses to extend their hours during the event for walk in traffic.” It’s the ultimate family evening. Call the Chamber office for more info at 623-2225.

General Membership Luncheons

What is it and why should you go? The Chamber hosts monthly meetings for their membership in the way of a luncheon. It’s in our by-laws that we have four “General Membership Meetings” a year. Why should you participate? You pay your dues, you’ve fulfilled your obligation, right? Wrong! We need your input and you need to know what your Chamber is doing for you. We all overextend ourselves sometimes, but what we choose to support is an important decision. The Humboldt County Chamber of Commerce is the only organization in town whose main purpose is to support and promote business; the place you get your livelihood. If you are in business, you are benefiting from the activities of the Chamber and should come give your input and ideas, and to voice your concerns, if you have them. The bonus is: it’s lunch. Ya gotta eat, don’t ya? We look forward to seeing you at the next “General Membership Luncheon on Tuesday, June 14. Mark your calendar now!

Jamie Dellera from the Silver State International Rodeo spoke at May’s Luncheon, held at the Winnemucca Inn on Tuesday, May 10th.

She spoke about the upcoming influx of over 500 participants in July (the week of the 4th) and what it can mean to your business.

For more information and updated details about this upcoming event, call the Convention Center at 623-5071.

 

Customer Service Award

Chamber President, Betty Lawrence presented Winnemucca Inn employee D’Ann Brown, with the Chamber’s Monthly Customer Service Award.

Nominated by Jeff Putnam and Fred Baryol, they find her to exemplify every aspect of a special service person.

To quote, “from her greeting, her attention to the needs of her customers, through check out, she is a true ambassador for both the Winnemucca Inn and the city of Winnemucca.”

The Chamber congratulates Brown and the Winnemucca Inn for a job well done!
