What Does the Chamber Do? DIRECTORY The Lynden Chamber of Commerce does more than point visitors to the nearest eating establishment, store of their choice or best place to recreate (although they do all that stuff too). The chamber has put together a mixture of events and programs to help serve its members and the community at large. The Community Cashback program helps keep local dollars in the community. This buy-local program returns 5 percent of all money spent through it to local nonprofits. Chamber members also have the opportunity to network at events, get featured in brochures and visitor information outreach, sponsor events, share in member-to-member discounts, join the Community Directory listing, have access to educational programs and enjoy customer referrals and reduced participation fees in community events. For the community, the chamber is active in welcoming new residents with its Welkom Basket program and entertaining the entire region with its annual Farmers Day Parade, Northwest Raspberry Festival and Lighted Christmas Parade.
