What could be easier, these cards make the perfect holiday gift. Great for stocking stuffers, enclose them in your Christmas cards, give them to the people you do business with-they'll be happy you remembered them in this special way!

This card is the gift that will keep giving- for 2 years and offers discounts and promotional items from participating local merchants. What a great way to stay on the mind of your business contacts and friends!

If you are a merchant who would like to participate in this program, please contact us at: friendofthechambercard@verizon.net or print out forms from the web at: www.gardencitychamber.org and return to us as soon as possible.

Cards are $20.00 each and the program officially begins on January 1st 2008. The Garden City Chamber of Commerce's website: www.gardencitychamber.org will be listing participating merchants. Cards can be purchased thru participating local organizations. To date the following organizations are selling cards. A portion of the sale from each card will be kept as a fund raiser for these organizations.
