This Directory is a resource for you to use as a guide to the St. Charles community as well as to promote our Chamber Members and the wonderful services that they can offer you.

It is an exciting time to be a part of the Chamber with a plethora of active committees, including the newly founded St. Charles Chamber Council for Industry Committee and Young Professionals Group, as well as the more established committees such as the Legislative Committee, Membership Committee, and Women’s Business Council.

We offer the chance for you to do everything from advocating for your business and the Chamber at the local and state levels to serving as a leader in your field of expertise.

S

t. Charles is widely recognized as a thriving town with plenty to offer residents, businesses and casual visitors seeking to take advantage of its diverse cultural, recreational and commercial opportunities.

The town’s vast array of merchants and manufacturing enterprises, active arts community, excellent school system, library, and park district, fine restaurants and scenic Fox River are all part of its genetic makeup.

“These attributes led to St. Charles being named the No. 1 place in the country for families to live in a 2011 Family Circle

magazine survey,” says Stacey Ekstrom, President and Chief Executive Officer of the St. Charles Chamber of Commerce.

Ekstrom says the Chamber, now in its 92nd year, boasts some 600 local businesses in its fold, from “A” to “Z”.

Among its earliest members (in 1922) were Colonial Café & Ice Cream, Shaw Media and the City of St. Charles; St. Charles Memorial Works (1923); St. Charles Country Club (1924); The Arcada Theatre (1927) and Blue Goose Super Market (1928).

Each year the Chamber honors the best exemplars of civic and humanitarian efforts and community improvements to business.

The St. Charles Chamber also presents the Charlemagne Award, instituted in 1968, to a resident who has an extended and continuing history of voluntary service to the community.

Ekstrom cites community exposure and mutual support as two main incentives for joining the chamber.

“Being able to network and expand in your market are huge advantages,” she says, noting that fees are based not on the

number of employees or revenue but on a tier system, with each level up the scale offering more benefits.

“We’re always looking for new members to join our successful group,” she adds.

To acquaint the public with what St. Charles has to offer, the Chamber makes available welcome boxes to residential and business consumers. The package includes maps, coupons from local retailers and a business directory with information on schools, parks and the library. Newcomers can pick one up at the Chamber Office,

216 Riverside Ave., or request it be mailed.

Ekstrom says her organization is working on more options for disseminating information electronically through visitors and relocation packages.

“Our website, www.stcharleschamber.com, is being redesigned so users, by checking areas of interest, can download to their inboxes everything from maps to information on sponsored events such as the annual eight-night classic car Cruise Nites in early July to late August. Rollout of the completed web redesign is expected by the end of 2013.”

St. Charles is fortunate to have three organizations fostering its growth. The Chamber of Commerce works with local businesses. The Convention and Visitors Bureau, funded through a hotel/motel sales tax, has as its mission bringing visitors to the area. The Downtown Partnership, funded by a Special Service Area tax, works with downtown businesses.

“Though each has its own mission, there is some overlap,” says Ekstrom. “We all work very well together.” w

DOWNTOWN PARTNERSHIP builds team with common goals, interests

G

rowth for many towns means a shifting of focus from the central core to outlying borders, a transition that often leaves once-prominent downtown areas to stagnate.

But that’s not the case with St. Charles, whose downtown is a bustling, thriving place populated by some 200 businesses including a mix of service companies, retailers and restaurants.

“It really is the heart of the city – and we intend to keep it that way,” says Lynne Schwartz, Executive Director of the St. Charles Downtown Partnership.

Now entering its 20th year, this non-profit organization traces its origins to a group of citizens and property owners who wanted to see a revitalization of the city center.

The DSCP started as “Friends of the Downtown,” a committee within the St. Charles Chamber of Commerce prior to becoming a separate entity.

Even today, except for a staff of four fulltimers, the group relies heavily on volunteers to pursue the mission of enhancing the economic viability and preserving the character and beauty of the district.

Through marketing efforts, the Partnership helps both individual businesses and the downtown area as a whole. It provides

by

TOM WITOM

support and education to its constituents to ensure they are running smoothly and efficiently.

Schwartz says the Partnership promotes business retention and often serves as a liaison with other groups such as the St. Charles Chamber of Commerce and St. Charles Convention and Visitors Bureau.

“We all have different missions and constituents we support; however, there’s a common goal: to promote the town and have our businesses succeed,” she says.

“We also have a public art committee that commissions, purchases and maintains public art,” says Schwartz.

In addition, a committee focuses on events, including the St. Patrick’s Day parade, the Fine Arts Show (Saturday and Sunday of Memorial Day weekend), Jazz Weekend (in mid-September) and Holiday Homecoming (Friday and Saturday following Thanksgiving), which includes the Electric Christmas Parade.

“The scenic Fox River is a magnet for recreational activities from fishing to canoe and kayak races; parks with walking and biking trails border all sides of our downtown; and there are a wide variety of dining and live theater options (among them, the Arcada and Steel Beam) .” w

CONVENTION & VISITORS BUREAU building city appeal as a business, tourism destination by

TOM WITOM

St. Charles welcomes tourists with open arms.

“Tourism is important to the State, where it’s the second-largest industry, as well as to the town,” says Amy Egolf, Executive Director of the Greater St. Charles Convention & Visitors Bureau. Revenue generated by tourism saves the average Illinois family household of four, more than $1,100 a year in taxes.

The Convention & Visitors Bureau was formed in 1983 and is funded by the Illinois Office of Tourism. Its mission is to promote St. Charles as a destination for meetings and conventions, motorcoach tours, sporting events and leisure getaways to enhance the economic impact to the community through increased visitor spending and guest room consumption.

“Every dollar we use here has been generated by a visitor,” says Egolf, adding that those dollars are re-invested in the community, funding the bureau's marketing initiatives for the city's events and amenities.

www. st c ha rl e scha mber.co m

Egolf says her organization promotes the advantages of coming to the city of St. Charles as well as Campton Hills, Elburn, St. Charles Township and Campton Township – a territory with a dozen lodging and meeting facilities.

Major players include Pheasant Run Resort and Spa (a convention, entertainment and lodging venue), Q Center (a corporate training facility), and DuPage Expo with affiliated Hilton Garden Inn. The diverse portfolio accounts for 2,314 rooms, of which 1,042 are in the Q Center.

“We also have a number of select service properties that provide support to the large groups that come to town,” says Egolf. “And while the boutique Hotel Baker doesn’t have the high number of rooms as other larger venues, it also generates visitors because of its historic significance.”

While it supports activities of sister groups in town such as the St. Charles Chamber of Commerce and the St. Charles Downtown Partnership, the Greater St. Charles Convention & Visitors Bureau’s biggest event is a popular three-day

Scarecrow Fest, in October, which typically draws more than 100,000 visitors annually.

It features 100 to 150 unique handmade scarecrows displayed in Lincoln Park. Entrants are judged in various categories such as mechanical, traditional, whimsical and family, and visitors have an opportunity to create their own scarecrows during the event. Related activities include the Great Tastes of Greater St. Charles, Autumn on the Fox arts show and four areas of live entertainment.

In the highly competitive Chicago area market, Egolf says the bureau is always looking for new opportunities.

“We are all out there pounding the pavement, looking for new growth in such markets as military, education and fraternal organizations,” Egolf says. At the same time she takes comfort knowing the bureau can report a positive return on investment.

“We’re part of the solution to the economic health of Illinois.” w

A

highly desirable place to live, St. Charles has a long history of successful business and economic development connecting homes, jobs, shopping, recreation and entertainment opportunities.

Some 33,000 residents have made St. Charles their home and more than 2,200 businesses, including a unique mix of retailers, restaurants and manufacturing facilities, operate here.

Whether you already live or work in St. Charles, or you are considering moving your business or family here, St. Charles is a special community to call home.

Developers recently unveiled a revised proposal to begin Phase 3 of The First Street Redevelopment Project, which will include both new residential and commercial building along the Fox River. The city’s Economic Development Plan places increased emphasis on supporting existing successful properties and encouraging redevelopment of tired or underperforming properties.

St. Charles has the potential to attract entrepreneurs who want to live and work here. Strong local employment allows the community to exceed the national average

of 1.5 jobs per household and offers many residents the opportunity to work in the community where they live.

The City recently initiated important economic development opportunities for residential and commercial builders seeking to offer properties with scenic Fox River views and access.

Meanwhile, current residents are already enjoying the unique environment of a place like St. Charles… where they can shop, dine and be entertained, all in one place. w

LEGEND

THE LEGEND OF...

The Four Sons of Charlemagne The following legend was written by C. V. Amenoff, who served as Mayor of St. Charles from 1969 – 1973 It was autumn - the year, 1831. The sun in the west was lending its last full rays to add greater resplendence to the autumnal livery of the trees and bushes lining the banks of the meandering river coursing its way through the wilderness.

All was peaceful and serene, the silence being broken only by the sound of wildlife making their way through the bushes homeward at dusk, or the fish at play in the fast-moving river. Occasionally the sound of a musket could be heard in the distant prairies to the east.

Four fox stretched out lazily on the banks of the river at the foot of the trail leading to their den, awaiting the return of their father Charlemagne. He had left early in the morning to listen in at an emergency session of the Indian chiefs whose tribal lands were being threatened by the white men, now coming to settle in this area.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, Charlemagne came into view, trotting slowly to join his family. Immediately the four fox fell in line as Charlemagne led them up the trail to their den. It was readily apparent to the four sons that their father was in a troubled mood and sad, sad as he was when their mother died a few years before.

Impatiently they awaited his report on the council of the Indian chiefs. After resting a few minutes, Charlemagne started to talk and, with a voice somewhat choked with emotion, addressed his sons.

“My sons, my report to you is sad. The Black Hawk War has ended. The white men are now coming to settle along the banks of this river, taking these lands of the wilderness which have been the happy hunting grounds of the Sacs, the Fox and the Pottawatomies.

I trembled today in my listening spot as I heard Chief Waubonsie of the Pottawatomies relate his experiences with the white men. www. st c ha rl e scha mber.co m

“They cannot be trusted,” the old chief pointed out, “and it is now apparent that we cannot live side by side. there can be no coexistence. Our only move now is to go further west.” The other chiefs who had gathered for the council nodded their approval of the westward move, and soon they left to ride home to tell their tribes of these new plans.

Charlemagne continued, “When the white man comes to the banks of this river and sees this beautiful spot in the valley where the Fox River flows - and remember, my sons, this river is named for our Indian neighbors, the Fox tribe up in Wisconsin where the river has its source - here is where the white man will choose to settle.”

“These men upon arrival will first build their homes on the hills overlooking this river. Land will be cleared so that they can plant their crops in the spring. They will build a millwheel on the river to grind their grain, then a bridge. Homes then will be built on the western bank. Stores will open.

Industry will come. Schools will be built, and soon church spires will rise up in the community. This is the pattern of settlement of the white man.”

“Now, I am old, and it will be hard for me to adjust to these changes. I have tried to be a good father to you. I have taught you all the tricks and the cunning of our kind. You are now able to take care of yourselves, and you can adjust your lives to these white men.

As for yourself, I have only a few more years to live. Tonight I shall leave you and go west to be with my Indian friends. This is as it should be. Your needs for me are no more.”

“I have never given you names, preferring that you be known only as the four sons of Charlemagne, so that there shall always be unity among you for the great tasks ahead. This has been our happy home. It is important that the settlement which arises on the banks of this river will develop a character unique among other communities that will be settled by the white man. I would like you, my four sons, to be the

guardians of this growing settlement, to see that it does become a great community in which men can live, can work, can be educated, can worship and can play.”

“You, my firstborn, are to be the guardian of the civic, the business, the industrial life of this community.”

“Education will become important in the life of this growing community. And you, my second son, are to be the guardian of this educational and cultural expression.”

“Soon after this community has been settled, men will band together to worship, and you, my third son, are to be entrusted with the guardianship of this religious expression.”

“Amid this beautiful setting, it is only natural that recreation will flourish, and you, my last-born, shall be the guardian of this natural recreation expression of man living in these surroundings.”

“As for me, I shall now leave you to join my Indian friends.”

Finishing his talk, Charlemagne then bade farewell to his four sons and walked out of the den into the night and westward.

These four sons of Charlemagne are now represented on the Main Street bridge, monumental guardians of this community.

Today St. Charles is a truly great community, the Pride of the Fox, located in the Beauty Spot of the Fox River Valley. It is a community where men can live, can work, can be educated, can worship and can play.

The guardianship of his four sons is now testamentary to the will of Charlemagne.
