Have you always wanted to travel overseas? Have you been overwhelmed by the logistical details (airfare, hotels, transportation, dining, tour guide etc.) needed to plan such a trip?

The Chamber is pleased to announce that we will be offering a 9 day/7 night trip to Tuscany, Italy in April of 2025. We wanted to offer the trip with plenty of lead time to plan for it. The trip will be in partnership with a travel agency that specializes in overseas trips, has been in business for over 50 years and is the official travel partner of the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (ACCE).

The trip will be open to friends, family, colleagues, groups, individuals who wish to join us. We will share details (pricing, itinerary, etc.) in next month's issue of the newsletter. Stay tuned. Promotional materials are currently being finalized.

There's no denying that 2024 is a challenging year to run a business. As inflation rates spiral and consumer demand takes a hit, business owners are forced to be more mindful of their bottom lines than ever. But whether you're grappling with debt, or looking to expand, accessing third-party financing may be easier than you think.
