The Carnation Chamber of Commerce has launched a new Valley Welcome program, to provide a personal greeting to new residents of the greater Carnation area.

The program will reach out to new residents monthly with information on the Valley, community resources, maps, businesses, shopping, dining and recreation info.

Businesses that belong to the chamber can participate in the Valley Welcome program. Non members, apply for membership at www.carnationchamber.com/member/newmemberapp.

Chamber members can contribute items such as one-time-use coupons, samples, flyers, event listings, and so on. Each member can choose what to contribute. Size and quantity limitations apply.

Valley Welcome bags are scheduled to be distributed at a rate of 5 to 10 bags monthly, in the second half of the month. Volunteers interested in distributing the bags are also needed.

For more information, to contribute or volunteer, send e-mail to Erin at info@carnationchamber.com.
