VERONA COMMUNITY — Please Read!!
The Verona Area Chamber of Commerce needs your support, and we are reaching out to ask you to help make your voice heard.
Beloved Verona traditions like Hometown Days, Fall Fest and other community events could be at risk. These events are about so much more than bringing our community together. They also provide valuable opportunities for local organizations like the Lions Club, Knights of Columbus, Boy Scouts, Elks, Optimist Club, booster clubs and many others.
We want to continue these partnerships and keep these traditions alive! We especially encourage representatives from these organizations, along with community members who value these events, to share their concerns and let their voices be heard.
The City of Verona is considering who should oversee and distribute tourism funding, and we need our community to speak up in support of keeping the Verona Chamber of Commerce in that role!
The Verona Chamber understands our community, our businesses, our events, and what makes Verona such a great place to visit, shop, dine, and explore.
The Chamber has the local relationships, experience, and passion needed to promote tourism, support community events, attract visitors, and help our local businesses thrive.
Tourism dollars should be managed by an organization that knows Verona, understands Verona, and is invested in Verona’s success!
Let’s keep tourism promotion LOCAL and continue building on the relationships and momentum already established.
📅 Monday, November 9th
🕖 7:00 PM
📍 Verona City Council Meeting, City Hall
We encourage residents, business owners, and community supporters to attend and let our elected officials know why keeping the Verona Chamber involved in tourism funding and promotion matters.
Attending in person is best but if you can't attend in person, there are other ways to help!
• Email your City Council representative and let them know why you value the Chamber's tourism efforts, Welcome Center, community partnerships and events.
• Call your City Council representative to share your thoughts.
• If you send an email, we would appreciate it if you would copy the Chamber at [email protected] so we can understand the community support being shared.
• Please forward this to your employees, coworkers, friends, family members, neighbors and anyone else you know who has enjoyed Verona's events or benefited from the Chamber's work. We want to reach beyond our membership and hear from the people who make up this community.
