METAMORA — The Metamora Chamber of Commerce has launched a redesigned website and is preparing for a packed spring calendar that includes a membership meeting featuring speakers from the Toledo Port Authority.
The chamber’s spring meeting is set for Wednesday, April 15 at 5 p.m. at the Evergreen Community Library. Dinner will be provided by the Country Charm, with a $10 fee collected at the door. RSVPs can be made by email or through the chamber’s website.
Guest speakers Dana Clark, Jason Bartschy and Craig Teamer from the Toledo Port Authority will discuss grants and zero-interest loans available to small businesses and other entities looking to make energy-efficient improvements.
The chamber also announced the launch of its redesigned website at www.metamorachamberofcommerce.com, which now features upcoming meetings and minutes, event listings, chamber projects, a member business directory and RSVP capabilities for membership meetings.
A chamber text message program is also being promoted, allowing members to receive meeting and event reminders, membership renewal notices and board announcements. Opt-in reminders will be sent again in April.
