LEWISBORO, N.Y. – The Lewisboro Chamber of Commerce has launched a new website which it hopes will be easier to use and maintain and will perform better.
The website, www.LewisboroChamber.com, is sponsored by Tator’s Garage with a contribution by Ted Strauss Websites, both of South Salem.
Chamber member Katherine Dawtry said the new website features improved performance and navigation and easier search for businesses. It also allows members to have their own web page for a minimal charge.
Dawtry said the chamber is currently welcoming new members who do business or are based in the Town of Lewisboro. Annual membership is $50 for businesses with six or fewer employees, and $75 for businesses with more than six employees. Optional individual web pages are $20 additional for either category.
Membership entitles businesses to attend a series of networking events during the year, each with a guest speaker discussing some aspect of small business. Members are also entitled to a complete listing on the chamber’s new website, an invitation to the annual Citizen of the Year cocktail party, and discounts on medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug plans.
For more information, contact the chamber at LewisboroChamber@yahoo.com, or at P.O. Box 801, Cross River, N.Y. 10518.

Last year the chamber unveiled a spiffy new website donated by a major public relations firm. With the continued refusal to hold an annual meeting of the members and elect a Board of Directors in accordance with the legal requirements of nonprofit law, six board members have left the board including two attorneys and two webmasters.
It is a shame that in the midst of the current financial crisis the remaining members of the chamber board cannot see fit to hold a properly noticed annual meeting of the members and elect a Board of Directors in an open and fair manner.
The new website is rudimentary at best. Calling it an improvement is like trying to put lipstick on a pig.
