I received a call from a daughter of one of our newly admitted short term patients. She lives in New Hampshire and called to specifically thank me for our involvement with the Chamber. She stated that she searched the internet Wednesday for places to recommend to her mother and when she saw that Meriden Center was on the chamber website she "knew that we were terrific", "that really meant something", and "to be a part of the Chamber is really significant" so she decided on Meriden Center as her first choice and requested her mother to come here. Meanwhile, this dtr was not listed as a contact for the mother at all, the only contact info given was a sister who lives with the patient. This sister had no knowledge or preference of skilled/rehab facilities.
It is a great conversion for us.
I wanted to extend a huge "thank you" for the difference our membership has made in unexpected ways! Victoria Jaras

The Greater Meriden Chamber of Commerce is an integral component for any small business to become a part of the community it serves. Web Solutions has benefited greatly from participating in Business After Hours events, the Chamber Expo, and the Chamber newsletter. In turn, the Chamber provides us with an avenue for serving the greater community through activities like the Annual Golf Tournament and the Silver City Brewfest. The efforts and initiatives brought forth by the Greater Meriden Chamber of Commerce to serve area businesses and the local economic climate should be lauded and I urge every Meriden business to get involved.

“The Greater Meriden Chamber of Commerce has given us a multitude of opportunities to promote our business in the community.
Through their Business After Hours and the Expo we
have been able to generate new business through the business
member contacts that we’ve made. These opportunities are
open to all members of the Chamber and it is certainly well
worth the membership fee. I couldn’t think of a better Chamber
to be a part of than the one right in our own city.” Pam Craig-White

“The Meriden Chamber of Commerce is not run by the City of Meriden, but exists independently to promote Meriden businesses
through an array of products and services. Businesses
that belong to the Meriden Chamber make a commitment to
the city of Meriden – the people, the neighborhoods, the community
as a whole. Businesses that appear in the Chamber Directory,
in the monthly newsletter or on the Chamber website
emerge as credible businesses and trusted friends.” Edward Hogan

“The chamber is a great business partner and resource, working together with local businesses to help them grow and thrive in

to protect and promote our business interest on important issues
like transportation and revitalization efforts. The Chamber staff
too is always at the ready to provide support and this is greatly
appreciated.” James B. Wood

I am writing this letter to let you know how pleased I am with the business flex plan program which is offered through the Meriden Chamber of Commerce. John Kowalsky was quite helpful in designing a plan suitable for myself and my wife. We became more profitable by approximately $300 per month by utilizing this plan. He took the time to meet with me personally, and clearly explained the different plan options. I have recommended to other business persons that they also check into the business flex plans which are available to Chamber of Commerce members. Kiley Palmer

“In the last year we have attended Chamber events in which we have come to know several different business owners. This helped us to establish trustworthy relationships and gain knowledge about a variety of other businesses.
Through networking it has helped solve some of our own issues such as:
H Who to hire to create our website;
H Where to go to for our promotional needs; and
H How to become comfortable in building relationships to promote
our business.
In doing so we realized, that Chamber events=having fun while doing business.” Donna Torre

“The promotional opportunities that the Chamber of Commerce offers are extensive. The Chamber’s web site offers businesses
a virtual window to display their wares and services. In the
case of Prentis Printing, over 13,000 potential customers peek
at our virtual window per month, as they view our Chamber
web site link. We have participated in the CT Showcase, Business
Expo, Chamber Directory and in sponsoring a ‘Business
After Hours’ event. Promotionally, it’s all good… for all types
of business.” Bruce Burchsted

"Since I joined the Meriden Chamber I have been guided in the right direction. The chamber has coached me in how to make my company noticed. The link and banner add on the chamber website has given us serious exposure. As a result of such exposure, Mr. and Mrs. Heroux call us to estimate the cost of a deck in the back of their 1730 home on Curtis St. in Meriden. After several visits, we were hired for the project! All of this wonderful experience was possible because of the constant exposure that the Meriden chamber provided. The Heroux’s called us back for an add-on leading to their recent purchase of a swimming pool. The entire project was completed with composite decking and white vinyl rails...! The customer is very satisfied. This is just one of many positive experiences as a result of the Meriden Chamber ads and website links." "Thank you so very much for all the work you and your men have done at our home. We are so pleased with the workmanship and professional quality that you and your men have provided. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't smile at all the improvements that were made. I still couldn't believe what a difference it has made in our home. How beautiful the kitchen and living room is now with the new flooring. Can not wait to have you job-out our next home improvement project. Again thank you for the excellent work and for all the work you have done well above and beyond what was expected." Sincerely, Ellie & Dave Hampton. Miguel Castro
