SEPT 2016 – Redlands Chamber shines a light on local restaurants during Cruisin’ Cuisine September 17th

The Redlands Chamber of Commerce shines a light on local restaurants, during Cruisin’ Cuisine September 17th. 1 Cruisin cuisine picture

While many communities enjoy a “Taste of…” events, often local restaurants are housed under a big tent or in a large meeting hall, where they serve guests from steaming chaffing dishes. Six years ago the Redlands Chamber decided to showcase the local eateries but have guests visit the restaurants to learn firsthand the locations, ambiance and atmosphere offered.  Attendees check in at the Chamber office on the evening off, trade tickets for passports and wander off on foot seeking out participating food providers and sampling the very best Redlands has to offer.

“This is the best kind of promotion.” said Chamber President, Jill Riley. “We learn firsthand where the restaurants are. We get to taste amazing samplings, and I can’t think of a better way to enjoy downtown Redlands.”

Ten restaurants are featured including Oscars Mexican Food, Bratworks, The Royal Falconer, Sizzlers, Dhat Island Caribbean Food, Alfaro’s Catering, The Thai House, Corner Bakery, The Spaghetti Factory and Isabella’s Ristorante Italiano. For restaurants and caterers that are not within walking distance, downtown businesses will host, making the event completely pedestrian friendly.

Each guest carries a passport to be signed by the participating host or hostess. At the end of the evening passports are returned to the Chamber office and entered into a drawing for the grand prize, an Apple I-pad Air, provided by Paul and Joann Barich, Barich & Associates.

Tickets are $40 per person and available through the chamber office, 793-2546.

Why just go to one restaurant on a Saturday night out….when you can go to ten!!!!!

 

SEPT 2016 – The Chamber – You get out of it what you put into it

/in /by

2 Chamber building pictureThe chamber of commerce is a great place for anyone looking to make local connections and promote their business. But it’s more than just writing the check. It requires being involved and being proactive, taking advantage of your membership. It takes time, something small business owners often lack. But the result of not investing your time and effort is often a disappointing chamber experience.

Here are a few ways you can get the most out of your chamber of commerce membership:

  1. Go to Events. This is a great time for you to go and meet new people who are just like you. They are at the chamber to network, meet new people, and grow their business. You’re all tied together by a common theme, improving the local business climate. Going to events regularly will allow you to develop relationships with people and become familiar with other members. It will also allow other members to become familiar with who you are and what your business is, what product or service you provide. We are all more likely to recommend a fellow chamber member when someone asks for a referral because we know them and have developed a relationship with them.
  2. Join a Committee. Chambers are run by members who volunteer to help out. Committees or the board of directors is a great way to get involved. Join a committee that you are interested in or have expertise in or have a passion for. Chamber events require committees of people with a variety of skills or interests, so be proactive, join and develop relationships with new people while working together to achieve a common goal.
  3. Take Advantage of Offers. At the Redlands Chamber we can help members by offering reserved e-mail blasts, sharing info via social media, offering advertising and marketing opportunities, sponsorships and promotions. The catch is to reach out to tell the chamber what you want. It’s important to let the chamber know whatever you want to share. This is where proactive comes into play.
  4. Connect Socially. When making connections through your chamber it’s important to follow up to help develop your relationship. Previously it’s was common to send an e-mail after an initial contact or meeting. Now you can connect on LinkedIn, Twitter, Google+ or Facebook to learn more about the person you connected with and their business. Go the extra mile and share their content, they will likely return the favor. Social media, like the chamber of commerce, is about developing relationships. Use it to enhance your chamber experience while in between events or committee meetings. It’s a great way to stay in touch.
  5. Follow Up. Following up with people is often overlooked. You have met them at the monthly event and connected socially, but what about a follow up meeting? Invite your new connections out for a cup of coffee or lunch. This will help you get to know them and their business better while providing an opportunity to share more information about your business. It doesn’t stop at meeting people and connecting socially, follow up and solidify your relationships.

The chamber of commerce is a must for any local business looking to grow. It helps the community and helps you make connections that can grow your business. The formula is simple: you get out of it what you put into it. If you make the effort, the chamber of commerce can be a rewarding experience both personally and professionally….it’s not a membership…… it’s a partnership.

3 Member spotlight picture

Dental Hygiene for Homebound Patients

 Jan Marie is an RDHAP licensed by the State of California to provide preventative hygiene procedures on-site in adult and special needs day care facilities, skilled nursing facilities, and assisted living senior centers.

An RDHAP is a Registered Dental Hygienist in Alternative Practice. RDHAPs are dental professionals who meet the needs of an underserved population. They have their own independent business and travel to different settings rather than a dental office.  They provide specific preventative procedures such as:

Oral health screenings

Periodontal cleanings, prophylaxis

Patient oral hygiene instruction

Topical fluoride treatments

Referral and custom personalized recommendation

RDHAP can provide services to schools, clinics, skilled nursing facilities, private homes of the homebound. They use portable dental equipment to deliver dental treatment in the area where the patient is comfortable.  By minimizing anxiety and stress, they can provide procedures to improve the patient’s health and quality of life.  Research states that the whole body health has a direct relationship with periodontal and oral health.

Why Use an RDHAP?

Preventative dental care is important to avoid extensive dental treatment. Neglecting oral care can create financial and painful situations.  We work directly with your personal physician, dentist, nursing directors and staff to provide you the dental care you need.

To learn more about Jan Marie and the services provided, call 909 289-1241 log on to wwwjanmariedhap.weebly.com or email her at jmrdhap@gmail.com

At the finish line human joggers will be greeted with cookies and of course we can’t forget our pooch pals where milk bones will be waiting for them. An official finish line dog tag will be given to every team.

A portion of the proceeds will go to the Redlands Animal Shelter to assist in the ongoing rescue and adoption efforts.

SEPT 2016 – Smart Homes: Let your home do the thinking

/in /by

5 energy upgrade blog5 euc logo

Kathie Thurston, Executive Director of the Redlands Chamber of Commerce. The mission of the Redlands Chamber of Commerce is to serve our members as an advocate of business throughout the greater Redlands area, at all levels of government, to create a business climate that will advance the economic, educational,

cultural and civic vitality of the Redlands Community.

Smart Homes: let your home do the thinking…

First there was the Smart Phone, a tiny little computer that you can hold in your hand and can search the internet, make and receive phone call, capture your emails and send instant important messages and photos to anyone you know and love (who also owns a smart phone). Then came the tablet; an even more sophisticated tool that allows you to carry your office, TV, movie-theater and concert hall with you wherever you go.

We learned and conquered the technology and now can’t leave home without them.

Now we can add Smart Homes to our inventory. At home or not little doubts crowd your brain, “Did I turn off the coffee maker, the iron, turn down the heat, set the alarm, lock the door, close the garage door…?” With a Smart Home you can quiet those worries AND save energy at the same time.

Whether you are on the front porch or on the other side of the world, with the press of an icon, you can turn on or off your lights in any room of the house. You can heat the bedroom before you get up in the morning. You can control the temperature of any room in the house at any time of the day.  You can turn on the oven so the roasted chicken is ready for you when you get home. You can even spy on the kids who are home before you get there.

Each push of the button, contributes to conservation efforts. Controlling lights, window coverings, HVAC, even irrigation systems adjusts the consumption of the planet’s, limited resources.

A Smart Home not only saves you energy and money it makes you look pretty darn smart too.
