Stayner Country Christmas/Tree Lighting The Township plans to do a holiday video message in lieu of the tree lighting event this year. They plan to get the local community and business organizations (e.g. Lions, Kinsmen, Chamber, BIA, etc.) to do a 15-30 sec Happy Holidays message to go in the video and will also include a pre-recorded plug-in of the tree.
In other related news, the Township has purchased a 7½ foot pre-lit X-Mas tree that will go in the gazebo each year. They have also purchased more decorations for the gazebo itself as well as 3D light sculptures for many of the Clearview parks to give all of Clearview a cohesive decorative look. To recoup some of the costs for these lights the Township will be applying for Government funding that they are eligible for.
Benches for Advertising At the General Meeting, it was proposed that the Chamber purchase bus benches currently for sale to put around Clearview and sell the advertising on them to make money for the Chamber. The Chamber would need to ask permission from the Township to use their land to put the benches on. The township will be contacted about the idea to see if a) we will be given permission to use the Township’s land, and b) whether there are appropriate bus stop locations with enough space to put them on. Open Executive Positions Just a reminder we are still looking for a Secretary and a 3-year Director. Please e-mail clearviewchamber@gmail.com if you are interested to fill either position.
Please mark Wednesday, November 18th at 6:30 pm on the calendar for the next General Chamber Meeting. Please email us to book your spot.
