Dear Members,

I hope this message finds you well! 

First, I would like to announce that Judy and the board of directors are very excited to announce the launch of our new website. It is so much cleaner and easier to navigate. Please check it out today and let us know what you think. I hope you all enjoy the new look!

There are many fun events coming up in Orleans and we are excited to start with the Orleans Elementary School Halloween Stroll on Saturday, October 28^th from 2-4 p.m. There are several other events taking place around the stroll, so check out the promo on our website and the information below.

On November 13th, we'll be having the Orleans Chamber of Commerce Annual Dinner at La Bella Vita. Great food and atmosphere. It’s sure to be a nice evening to visit with one another and chat about the upcoming holiday season.

Speaking of the Holiday Season, the Chamber is working on a robust holiday schedule, including our very popular Santa Stampede on December 2^nd at the Barley Neck Inn. This is such a fun run if you haven’t attended in the past. Just a great way to get in the spirit of the holidays! Of course there’s breakfast with Mrs. Claus and the arrival of Santa on Saturday, November 25^th. We plan on having a festive Holiday Stroll through the day, welcoming visitors and locals a like to enjoy the beautiful town of Orleans.

I look forward to seeing you all around! If you need anything don’t hesitate to reach out to me.

Warm regards,

Justin Alex

The new website has launched. For all members of the Chamber, the website is directly connected to your profile. Please make sure your profile is up to date with accurate information. Logo size and images should be uploaded to the recommended size. The preview option in your profile setting is a good first look.

The Chamber has invested in a new website to make sure your business is at the top of all Orleans businesses searched for. We hope you like the new look.

We are able to, if you are short on time, take care of your profile for you. We would draw all your information from your website or social media. We can update your profile for $100., just let us know if you would like us to jump in.
