The Chamber is often the first place a newcomer or visitor will stop or call. The Chamber staff will only refer Chamber members to any inquiries. We allow Chamber businesses to have promotional materials in our office. We also send out dozens of relocation kits to businesses considering a move to the York area. Only Chamber businesses are part of the referral packets.
Only Chamber members can accept Chamber Checks at their business. The checks, issued through the Chamber office. can be used for goods and services at any Chamber business. During the Christmas season, the Chamber typically issues $150.000 in Chamber Checks ... and those dollars were spent at Chamber businesses. It's a very effective program to keep dollars in the community.
