Now that the Legislature is back in session in Augusta we will be scheduling a series of Hot Stove League Saturday Breakfast meetings with local legislators and government officials. These meetings on Saturday morning are designed to keep you informed about what is going on in Augusta and for your business to be able to express concerns or recommendations to local elected officials.
Legislative Updates are a service of your Lincoln Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce. In conjunction with the Maine State Chamber of Commerce we forward the State Chambers “E Impact” newsletter to our members via email. E Impact shows what pieces of legislation are on the Maine State Chambers radar. These pieces of legislation have direct impact on doing business in Maine.

The Chamber Annual Dinner being organized for May 11th. We will have speakers from the Action Committee of 50. Learn how an East / West Highway will bring economic development to our region and how the Mobilize Maine program through Eastern Maine Development Corp. can be an additional economic boost.
Logo Sign on the Highway
The Chamber is working with Maine DOT and a private company in hopes of getting a Logo Sign at the North and South Off Ramps to Lincoln from 1-95. Logo Signs can be seen up and down 1-95 and can let travelers know what your area has to offer in the way of food, lodging, gas, and attractions. The private company that creates these signs will not actively market to towns that are more than three miles off the highway so at the request of a member the Chamber is spearheading an effort to market in this area. If you would like more information please contact the business office.

2012 Visitor Guide
It is time for the Chamber to start work on the 2012 Visitor Guide. These Visitor Guides are distributed to Statewide Visitor Information Centers and to all other Chamber Offices in the Maine Highlands Area.
They are also used as material to mail to those who inquire about vacationing, relocating, or starting a business in the area.
The pricing for advertising and more infomation on the visitor guides can be found by clicking the links below.
those with questions should contact Marketing Committee Chair Merri-Lee West at 794 3930
Regional Visitor Guide~ Another Service from The LLRCC
The Lincoln Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce invites you to advertise your business in the 2012 Visitor Guide. These guides are distributed to all of the Visitor Information Centers in Maine which are located in Calais, Fryeburg, Hamden, Houlton, Kittery and Yarmouth. The Guides are also distributed within all the Chambers of Commerce in The Maine Highlands Region. As a member of the Maine Highlands they are also put on display at Bangor International Airport. The Visitor Guides are also part of the display at the Maine Highlands informational booth at the Eastern States Expo which is held yearly in Springfield Massachusetts at the “Big E”. Annually the Chamber has 5000 copies of these Visitor Guides distributed throughout the State. They are also mailed to all who inquire about vacationing in or relocating to the area. They are used in the Chambers Business Office and include local road maps, area information, recreational opportunities, and important numbers such as police, fire, and town offices. The Visitor Guide is often the first impression a person gets of the area and what it has to offer. In addition to recreational opportunities we have the retail, industry, health care, and educational opportunities to draw not only tourist dollars but those looking to relocate, purchase property or to start a business. Prices for advertising in the Visitors Guide have been lowered and include two prices one for members and one for non members. All advertisers also receive a free listing in the business section of the guide. We hope that you will consider advertising in the 2012 Visitor Guide. Ad prices can be found on the back. Join us in highlighting some of your favorite activities or memories with pictures from the Lincoln area, the Undiscovered Maine! This year we are holding a photo contest for pictures to be included in the guide as well as for the cover, look for details to come in the Lincoln News. Photo credits will be given for all pictures. RESERVE YOUR SPOT TODAY! This is your opportunity; let the Lincoln Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce help promote your business in 2012 and beyond. Please contact the chamber office or Merri-Lee West at 794-3930
