The Chamber can't even afford to rent in their own village! How is that for over-the-top rents?
I did come up with an idea though. How about a trolley car? I'm serious. They can pick a trolley, I think they all have numbers, so their address would be a certain numbered trolley and then there is where visitors, as well as locals can meet at the Chamber office. It will come to them. You would just wait at a stop for the trolley to come by and hop on and deal with the Chamber.
They could have a desk in the back of the car!
Installing the Chamber in a circulating Grove Trolley is reminiscent of a Floating Crap Game. Probably most appropriate. You would think that if the Chamber was a viable entity than any of its members or executive board would be most accommodating in providing them with a room in their office. BID, Woman's Club or one of the many empty shops that are holding out for bigger rents?
ReplyDeleteIf the trolley doesn't work they can always move under the Metro Rail bridge.
ReplyDeleteDo we still have a Chamber of Commerce?

It is 29% more effective, for communicating to consumersthat a company uses good business practices and 26% more effective for communicating that a business is reputable!
ReplyDeleteImportantly, when consumers know that a small business is a member of the chamber of commerce, they are 44% more likely to think favorably of it and 63% more likely to purchase goods or services from the company in the future.
Supporting our Chamber makes economic $ense!
Maybe they could share space with the Peacock Park community center on back side of the glass house. What is their budget?
