President’s Message DUBLIN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE OFFICERS Season’s Greetings! President - Alan Baker Blue & Co., LLC When doing your holiday shopping this season, I encourage you to “Think Dublin First!” Not only does buying local give you that feel-good warmth, it also has an amazing economic impact on the health of the community in which we live.

Taxes from businesses and their employees in Dublin finance the majority of costs of city services and a considerable portion of school services. Dublin has so many unique retail options to help you find that perfect gift. Before you head to the stores, visit DublinChamber.org/directory for a full list of Chamber members. You can search by category such as Shopping & Specialty Retail or Home & Garden Services or you can search by business name. Buying local is an incredible contribution to our community, and I think it’s an experience you will want to repeat year after year. Dublin Chamber of Commerce also offers you ways to keep your business strong by providing the gift of affordable and effective marketing opportunities such as the Membership Directory & Buyer’s Guide, event sponsorship and event hosting. Just go to pages 4 and 5 of this issue to learn how you can parlay your Chamber membership into a major marketing strategy. Enjoy the holidays!
