The Greater Mt. Airy Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce the 2009 Membership Directory as a new marketing tool that we are off ering FREE to all of our members. This publication will reflect our commitment to making Chamber members stand out as trusted and preferred businesses in our community. By doing business with fellow members you are supporting our Chamber as well as our local economy and our directory will be a reference for those who share our common purpose. Your company will automatically be listed alphabetically and by business category simply by being a 2009 member. With our business category listings, it will not only help you gain recognition and exposure but it's like being in the "Who's Who" of Mt. Airy business leaders.

We are also giving you the opportunity to purchase advertising in the directory at the following rates.

Back Cover - Full Page (color) 8" x 5" $500.00

Inside Covers - Full Page Front or Back (color) 8" x 5" $250.00

Inside - Full Page (black and white) 8" x 5" $100.00

Inside - Half Page (black and white) 4" x 5" $ 50.00

Inside - Business Card (black and white) 3.5" x 2" $ 25.00

We will be distributing approximately 2000 directories to the members so you won't want to miss this FREE benefit of your Chamber membership. Please be watching your mailbox for more information in the upcoming weeks.

The 2009 Community Expo will be held Saturday, April 18, 2009 from 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. at the Mt. Airy Volunteer Fire Company's Activities Grounds. There will be food, entertainment, prizes and fun for the kids all day. We have once again arranged to have the BloodMobile on site. To sign up to donate blood, please contact Alice Decker with Interstate Construction and Development Company at 410-227-2817.

If you haven't already registered for the Mt. Airy Community Expo it isn't too late. Don't miss out on one of the biggest community events of the year and the opportunity to promote your business and meet your neighbors. Limited indoor tables and outdoor tent spaces are still available, but the event is fast approaching.

Additionally, there are volunteer opportunities available at the Expo. We need individuals to staff the Chamber table in two hour shifts as well as break-down and clean up. To register or volunteer for the event, contact Shawn Reilly today at 301-730-1675.

It's not too late to renew your membership. Did you know that Mt. Airy Chamber members receive a $100 discount off of the Frederick County Chamber dues if you join us first. Download an application from the Join Us page at www.mtairybusiness.com.
