"A Wonderful Way of Life", the Cape Cod Chamber's Relocation
/ Membership Directory |
 |
Advertising in the Cape Cod Chamber's
Relocation / Membership directory is the perfect way to get the word
out about the service or product you offer. 2002 was our first year
with this publication. It proved to be a tremendous success, very
well received not only by the advertisers but by our 5,000 members
and affiliate members on Cape Cod. This directory also serves as our
relocation fulfillment piece. A large number of businesses and
people relocating to the Cape call the Chamber to request it.
The Cape Cod Chamber is currently working with some local
Welcoming Committees for additional distribution. They see that this
beautiful directory will definitely enhance their welcoming package.
This year the Chamber will be adding a lot more local information
and advertising to the relocation section.
We have many people who request our membership directory because
they know that businesses that belong to their Chamber tend to be
more reputable and business friendly. Please call me with any
questions you may have at (508)-862-0700 ext. 514

WANTED: SUMMER PROGRAM INFORMATION! |
 |
If your office is anything like ours, requests
for information about summer programs or opportunities for children
of all ages are starting to flood into your office. Over the years
we have offered a flyer and, more recently, a web site of resources
for local (Cape and Islands) programs. If your group offers a
science or nature- based program, please visit the link below to see
if it is listed. If yes, please review and send updated details to
our office ([email protected]). If your program isn't listed and
you'd like it to be, the information we're interested is this:
- Name of program and/or sponsoring organization
- Location where program is based
- Brief description of the program(s)
- Age/grade level per program offered
- Dates/Times
- Fees
- Enrollment, application, sign-up process
- Contact person for more information (name, phone number,
address, e-mail, web site, fax)
Remember, this is specifically for programs that are science or
nature-based. We won't be promoting sailing camps, girl/boy scout
camps, etc.
Also, feel free to bookmark the web site and use it as a resource
for any inquiries you receive. If you'd like to have a master copy
of the printed list, just let us know.
Thanks!

2003 Cape Cod Golf Passport |
 |
The new bigger, more extensive
2003 Cape Cod Golf Passport is on sale now!
The Passport has more courses - 28 of the Cape's 29 public
facilities - plus local restaurants and hotels offering discounts to
play, eat or stay at their establishments.
The values offered by the courses are even better than last year
and we all know what a bargain those offers were. For
accommodations, some of the participating hotels are offering up to
20% off room rates seven nights a week. Restaurants have reduced
their costs including some with a free meal for every four persons
dining out at that establishment.
And the best news is that the Passport costs the same as last
year, just $79 for savings that can add up to over $1,750! The
Passport may be ordered online or you can pick one up at our visitor
centers (Junction of Route 6 & 132, Hyannis or Route 25
Eastbound, Plymouth) or administration office (307 Main St. Suite 2,
Hyannis in the CCBT building).
