Web Information for Members

       Get your own Web page hosted at the Chamber's site!

The Chamber offers the service to have your own (single) Web page hosted at the Chamber's site. This provides an easy and inexpensive way for you (as a Chamber member) to have a presence on the Internet's World Wide Web. It also helps anyone interested in businesses or organizations in this area to easily find you.

Up to four photos are allowed, and some text describing your business or organization. See this sample page which is the template for accommodations pages. A link will be made from your listing on the the Chamber's Accommodations page or Member Listing page direct to your Web page.

The cost is a $50 one-time set-up fee. Please contact the Chamber via phone at 231-352-7251 or email the Chamber to request this type of Web page, or to request changes to an existing page.


          Your listing on the Members or Accommodations page...

We ask all members to review their listing at the Member Listing page or Accommodations page to make sure all information desired is present and correct. For many of you on the Members page, a short description for your organization or business would be very helpful in many ways.

Where possible, we have tried to find a logo that applies to your listing. If you want to change from the image that's there, please supply a 120 x 90 pixel (maximum dimensions) GIF or JPG photo or image. Ideally it will be your logo or a photo of your place, but it can be of anything associated with your organization or business.

Please email the Chamber with any missing or corrected information and/or new logo or image. Also be sure to email us if any information for your listing ever changes.


          Let everyone know you're a member

For those of you with a Web site, please let everyone know you're a member and help folks to the Chamber site by placing this graphic:
