Please join the Fairport-Perinton Chamber for a Scavenger Hunt on June 11, 2022 from 8:00 am - 11:00 am. Visit Chamber businesses to socialize and collect clues along the route, then enjoy continental breakfast and networking at Spinelli's.
8:00-8:30 - Participants arrive at Spinelli's and receive a sheet containing hints for the route and clues to find the businesses.
8:30-10:00 - Participants follow the hints and drive to businesses. When they stop at your business, you can do what fits your business the best (suggestions include networking, give a brief tour, talk about the type of customer you are looking for, small giveaways, etc). Participants must get a clue from you before they leave so they can complete the clue sheet. We plan to have some prizes at the end of the race, and if you would like to offer a prize please let us know.

It's a frustrating and stressful time for those working from home. Now school has started and as we know, most schools are only in session 2 days a week. The rest of the time it's up to parents and caregivers to help teach. It's hard to stay relaxed and have a clear head with work deadlines and keeping your kids on task at the same time!!
That's where "What The Fruit Cup" comes into play!!! ( If you haven't' seen the commercial, it is brilliant!) Leadership teams need to be more innovative than ever to come up with ways to keep their staff members happy, positive and motivated while working from home! So how do you do this? Golden Hello Company has lots of ideas for you.
September 16, from noon - 1 pm, on Zoom, join Chamber members and guests as Edge Advertising Group Co-Owner Diane McClure and Golden Hello Company Co-Owner Kellie Wright walk you through the steps to use Facebook Live, as a communication tool. We all have experienced the enhanced value of our digital world through COVID. Make it work for you!
