Business After Hours

Small Business Season was created by Chamber industry leader Frank J. Kenny “to help share the message and educate the importance of supporting not just a local business, but our neighbors and friends. They provide jobs to our youth. They support our community by donating to our non-profits, our youth organizations, and our local events.”

An exciting aspect of Chamber membership is that you get to take advantage - and benefit from - opportunities as a result of the Affton-Lemay Chamber's partnership with other associations, groups, industry/thought leaders, etc.

As a small business, YOU can participate in Small Business Season (for free) but you must register to receive all the marketing materials, including free images, articles, checklists, calendars, hand-outs, and more. Register at: https://bit.ly/smallbusinessseasoninfo
