Also be sure to follow and like our Facebook and Instagram pages to tap into our Buy Local campaign of #ShopGreaterManlius posts continuing throughout December featuring area retailers and restaurants. We’re lucky to have three Main Streets in our community with the Villages of Fayetteville, Manlius and Minoa, as well as many retailers in between! Our area has so much to offer and this campaign highlights the positive impact that buying local has on our economy. Share our posts with your family, friends, and neighbors to help cultivate a local first mindset and encourage them to #ShopGreaterManlius! Together, we can create a sustainable community for us all.

To help support the #ShopGreaterManlius campaign, we’ve also created a new Facebook group, Shopping Local in Greater Manlius. As a business you will be able to share opportunities, promotions, specials. As a shopper, you can seek recommendations, ask where to find specific items, and explore the many businesses that are in our great community. Please invite your neighbors to join this new group!

Annual Meeting & New Year Kick Off
Wednesday, January 13, 2021
Cavalry Club
4801 Troop K Road, Manlius

The Chamber’s 2021 Annual Meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 13, 2021. The current hope is to hold it as part of a dinner gathering at the Cavalry Club in Manlius and include a 2021 Kick Off celebration. Evolving COVID-19 restrictions may well limit our plans or have us switch to a virtual Annual Meeting. However it is configured, the Annual Meeting will be held on this date and will be the general membership meeting at which we elect our 2021 Board of Directors. All members are invited and encouraged to attend. We will provide logistical details as soon as possible. Voting: Each membership in good standing shall be entitled to one (1) vote at the annual meeting. In good standing is defined as a member who has paid dues for the 2021 calendar year of membership prior to the annual meeting.

See page 2 of our December newsletter to see the proposed 2021 slate.
