Oct 16    COCKTAILS AT SUNSET 2014 - Lighting Up Rhinebeck

Presented by Rhinebeck Bank

The Rhinebeck Area Chamber of Commerce is delighted to announce that its annual fundraising event, Cocktails at Sunset,  will be held Thursday, October 16, 2014 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. at The Belvedere Mansion. We have a great committee working together to make this the best year yet!  We are excited to announce our entertainment will the The Little Creek Band!
 
Cocktails at Sunset is the premier fundraiser for the Chamber and our theme,
Lighting Up Rhinebeck, is meant to provide funds that will be used not only for the traditional Village tree lighting but for other ongoing  projects and Chamber programs that will draw business to our area. The success of this event is credited largely to our sponsors, who lend us their names and financial support.  Our ability to continue to fund the tree lighting and additional projects depends on the support and contributions of our Chamber members.  
 
We're counting on your support and are happy to answer any questions you
may have.  Thank you in advance for your willingness to support the efforts of the Rhinebeck Area Chamber of Commerce and make a difference in our community.

Feb 11    Tourism & How It Affects Your Business

Tourism is thriving in Dutchess County!  How can you get in on the action? How does this help your business? Please join us for a discussion with Dutchess Tourism, Inc. to get the answers and you can share your questions or ideas.

Fodor's Travel 4th annual 
Fodor's Go List of the top 25 places to visit next year names the Hudson Valley and the Catskills as "can't miss" places to visit! We know this will inspire many travelers to plan their 2015 vacation to our destination that's an "alternative to New York City, filled with world-class cuisine, outdoor adventures, and hipster charm." They name Rhinebeck, Dia: Beacon, the Walkway Over the Hudson, and the FDR Presidential Home, Library & Museum as must-see spots!

 

Tourism's 2013 economic impact numbers are in, and we are pleased to tell you that they are up overall! Direct spending by visitors in 2013 was a healthy $481,545,000 (up from $475,556,000 in 2012). 

 

Tourism sustains 8,774 full-time jobs, generating $245,396,000 million in payroll. This is an increase from 8,436 FTE tourism jobs in 2012, with a payroll of $243,058,000. Visitor expenditures include Transportation, $132 million; Food, $111 million; Lodging, $92 million; Shopping, $85 million; and Recreation, $32 million.

 

Locally, Dutchess County realized $34,371,429 in tax revenue in 2013, an increase from 2012's tourism- generated income of $33,637,676. Nearly 4½ million travelers visit Dutchess annually. Thanks to you, our valuable partners, for welcoming so many guests as they come to enjoy the countless sites and attractions that are Distinctly Dutchess. Here's hoping 2015 is a similarly good year for all of our tourism businesses; as the motto of New York State says, "Excelsior!" Ever upward!

Join us in the great venue of The Shelter for an evening of networking with your fellow Chamber members!

We are excited to welcome Dress for Success and ask attendees to bring gently worn women's clothing that would be appropriate for a professional interview or work in a professional environment.
 

What would you wear to a job interview? That is exactly the type of clothing they are looking for to distribute to their clients. Your fabulous suits and other professional apparel could furnish another woman with the confidence to enter or return to the workplace, make a great first impression and land a job that could change her life.

Additionally, many of the clients go directly from the center to an interview, so please ensure that all items donated are freshly dry-cleaned / laundered and ironed, not more than 5 years old, and suitable for wearing to job interviews. Thanks!
