The chamber wants to thank all the businesses and individuals who have supported the chamber with their membership. We have been able to keep our membership dues at $35.00 for over twenty years and have not even thought about increasing our dues.
The Colombus Grove Area Chamber of Commerce is staffed on a totally volunteer basis with NO PAID employees. We are staffed totally by local chamber members who believe in the goals of our group.
With about 3/4 of the newsletters going out by e-mail we are saving about $6.00 a year PER member over the cost of mailing them out. Thank You for forwarding your e-mail addresses to us.
