From the President - Chamber Updates and Economic Development

 

Spring brings forth new growth and energy and that is especially true at the Chamber. Please note that our annual Membership Campaign will be taking place during the month of June this year. The more members who participate, the more successful the campaign. Please consider helping us grow - with each new member that you refer to us comes $25 Chamber Dollars to you!  If the Chamber has helped your business to grow, reach out and share that message with others and urge them to join NVCC.  Brian McGillicuddy would be delighted to have you be a part of the exciting (and FUN) campaign he is planning. Just give him a call (or a referral) at 781-769-1126 x 205.

 

And, speaking of the energy and activity of spring - I am proud to report to you some of the many and varied offerings of the Chamber in the upcoming months: from social to educational to business development - Mark your calendars - you won't want to miss these events!  Click this link (and check out www.nvcc.com) to find more information regarding the Spring Speakers Series, special free educational seminars and the Golf Tournament (Early Bird Registration discount by May 15th).

MemberSHIP Cruise Campaign

ShipThe 2008 "MemberSHIP Cruise" Campaign will be held during the month of June.

 

All hands on deck for the NVCC's annual membership campaign. This year's drive, the "MemberSHIP Cruise" will run from June 1-30 highlighted by a 3 day "Cruise-a-thon" to be held on June 17, 18, & 19.

 

This year's campaign will be anchored by Cruise Ship Captains Kevin Hallinan of Winning, Inc. and Brian McGillicuddy of the NVCC. Also accepting key berth assignments as Cruise Directors are: Al DeNapoli of Tarlow, Breed, Hart & Rogers, PC; Nancy Wluka of Wluka Real Estate Corp; and John Gorham of The Bulfinch Group. 

 

One Bistro 04We need your help! We are looking for sea worthy "First Mates" to recruit and lead a 5 member crew of volunteers to moor a 3 hour phone shift during the "Cruise-a-thon". There will be four shifts from which to choose: 9:00am-12pm on June 17th, 18th, 19th or 1:00pm-4:00pm on June 18th.  There will be 6 teams of 5 crewmembers each for every shift. A "First Mate" team leader may pull double duty and also participate as a crewmember. Top performing teams and individuals will win cash prizes and other enticements, not only during the "Cruise-a-thon", but also all through the month long "MemberSHIP Cruise". There will also be special "MemberSHIP Cruise" incentives offered to member prospects that choose to come on board during June.

 

We will be pulling up all anchors and setting all sails.  You will be provided with food, training, leads, scripts, supporting documentation, oceans of encouragement, and as much fun as you can soak up. So, pack up the sea bag with your cell phone, laptop, your personal lead list, and beach attire and prepare to embark upon the "MemberSHIP Cruise".

 

If you have been meaning to become more active in the NVCC, this will be a terrific way to connect with fellow members. You might even pick up a new client or two for yourself in the process. To volunteer or obtain more information contact Ship Captain Brian McGillicuddy at 781-769-1126 or brian@nvcc.com.

The most important roles in my life have been that of Mom and Grandma and now that of health educator. For the past 15 years I have been promoting health by sharing information about health and Juice Plus+. When I first learned about it, Juice Plus+ made so much JuicePlussense to me. I knew I didn't eat enough fruits and vegetables and certainly my family didn't either. I thought, "Wow!" how great to be able to get the nutrition from  apples, oranges, cranberries, papaya, peaches, pineapple, acerola cherries, kale, parsley, beets, parsley, carrots, cabbage, spinach, and eight different berries in easy to take capsules.

 

I immediately decided to take Juice Plus+  and invited my mother, daughter, and sister to join me. After a few months, we all experienced the benefits of an improved diet. We had  more energy and began exercising more and feeling better. It is a great feeling to know that we can have all the benefits of those nutrient dense fruits and vegetables every day.  

 

We all know it's important to eat fruits and vegetables. Each individual fruit or vegetable is so powerful separately but when consumed together their effects are maximized. . Cancer cells are held at bay, the inflammation related to heart disease reduced and the likelihood of many other diseases decreased.                                        Read More
