More than 25 people attended the South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce (SCCC) open house on Feb. 18, and they enjoyed a hot bowl of soup from Soup de Tour, sandwiches and other goodies.
“Most people came in to chat about the Chamber while enjoying lunch, says Chamber executive director Shelly Morton.
“They filled out their Business Excellence Awards nomination forms, too.”
Although no one signed up for membership, Morton says a few applications were taken by people. There are quite a few benefits to becoming a member, Morton says, adding that applies to home-based businesses, as well as commercial and retail.
“Having home-based businesses on our website is very beneficial for them. For just over $100 a year, a couple of the advantages are, being listed in our advertisements and having their business on our website, which they can then link to their home page.”
“A lot of people from out-of-town check out our website to see what kind of services are available here.”
As of Dec. 31, 2015, the SCCC had more than 145 members. Morton reminds people to send in their renewals.
