SBG 2016 Annual Meeting
at the Corner House Inn
|
To: Current and Potential Members
2020 was a challenging year for all of us individually and the SBG as an organization. We started the year with great plans for a variety of projects throughout the year but had to make a significant course correction when the impact of the Covid pandemic became apparent. Our main emphasis was to keep the membership informed of what government support programs were available to businesses. We focused a lot of effort on the website (discoversandwich.com) and sent the large postcard-sized business listing to the residents of Sandwich and surrounding towns. In addition, we sent a letter to Sandwich residents communicating the need to support their local businesses during the pandemic.
Your 2020 dues were based on the original plans which were not fully accomplished leading to a cash surplus at the end of the year. The current plan is to eat into the cash balance rather than maintaining a large balance and, therefore, the dues for 2021 have been significantly reduced to $65 versus $130 last year. We felt this was only fair to 2020 members since we were not able to do what we had planned and you had paid for. Your membership provides the following general opportunities:
➢ Your business name and contact information listed on our website: DiscoverSandwich.com.
➢ The SBG Facebook site (Discover Sandwich) is available for member businesses to post and share from! (facebook.com/discoversandwich)
➢ Attendance at workshops sponsored by the SBG with guest speakers relevant to creating a viable and
successful business.
➢ An exposure in the community through participation of the SBG in local events, either with members
present or by sponsorship: Town Meeting, Christmas in the Village, etc.
➢ Ability to participate in other collaborative advertising with fellow businesses and opportunity for greater
visibility on the Discover Sandwich website as a sponsor.
The Sandwich Business Group is not just about networking with each other. It’s about supporting and fostering the economic viability of our community as the community supports us. Please contact a current member if you need more information. An application form is enclosed for your convenience.
Attached to the invitation file below is a backgrounder on the SBG and what is planned for 2021. We hope that you will continue or initiate your membership and involvement in the organization.
Regards,
Don Sutton, President, Sandwich Business Group
