    Your Chamber,
Working for you…

Happy Easter!
We had a great mixer last evening at the Chamber office, thanks to hosts Chris and Catherine Hopper from Mail and Copy Business Center! That BBQ pulled pork was very good, and so were the rest of the goodies you put together!
  A big thank you to our speaker Danyell Sena, Manager of the Comfort Inn in Moriarty who did a fabulous job presenting her enthusiasm and excitement about the historical route 66 information in our area!  Their hotel has increased its revenue because of their participation in all things Route 66! As visitors increase to our area, we should all be thinking about how we can help them to have a positive experience!  That directly becomes a plus for your bottom line!
Ambassadors…
have already been out visiting members to
make sure you are utilizing the services to which you are entitled! 
And if you would like to become an Ambassador, please let us know in the office!
 
We are bringing in decals for your window or door to announce that you are serious about your business and have joined the Edgewood Chamber of Commerce!
Economic Development
 The EDC research study  is ready to go….
If you would like to fill out a questionnaire about what you would like to see in Edgewood’s future, email the office and we will email you the form.  All information is anonymous, so be sure to answer all of the questions.  We want  to prepare an accurate report, and we want to hear from everybody!
.
 We will also be forming focus groups, and doing interviews with leaders at the state, county and local level. Deadline for all information is May 15.
After the data is gathered, we will prepare an Economic Impact Preparation Report which will be used by our committee and leaders to determine what’s next for Edgewood!

-Whiting Bros sign refurbishment;
Exciting news for Whiting Bros! 
Zeon inspected the high sign at Whiting Bros. over the weekend and came to the conclusion that a catastrophe could occur if an attempt was made to remove it from the poles. 
 They are more comfortable sending a crew to Moriarty to do the work in place.  The sign will be strengthened and restored right before our eyes! 
Zeon will schedule the work at their weekly meeting on
Friday and let us know by Tuesday of next week what will
happen and when.  Sal has given all of this his ok
 and is anxious to see work begin!
We are still planning to have our celebration when the
NM Rt. 66 Car Cruise comes through town in June,
 so get those t-shirts pressed and GET READY!!!!!!

We are looking for someone to do a documentary of the entire process.  Please contact; Debbie Pogue at manager@sunseton66.com
