Chamber Chatter for June 1: Hope to See You at the Bronxville Sidewalk Sale June 3 and 4
June 1, 2011: Happy Memorial Day to all! This kickoff to the summer season is always one of Bronxville's best moments. There has been so much to do this weekend, and your local merchants have played a big part in all of the events.
Check out the list of sponsors for the Memorial Day festivities: Bronxville-Ley Real Estate, Dobbs & Bishop Fine Cheese, People's United Bank, Station Plaza Wine & Spirits, and Topps Bakery. There is only one way to thank a generous sponsor, and that is to patronize them! Please remember that it is our Bronxville businesses that make the fun events in our town possible, and thank them by shopping local!
Last week, the Chamber sponsored a presentation by Eben Thurston of Spring Marketing Strategies on "Search Engine Placement Strategies and Social Networking for Small Businesses." It was a great presentation on a topic that is important for every small business. Thank you, Eben!
The spring sale at Toney Toni and the Gang is in full swing. Stop in and pick up some great bargains on some great fashions!
