What can the Chamber do for you?
Here are some of the things we did in 2009
These are just some of the big items.  The Chamber's volunteers work tirelessly throughout the year doing many additional tasks to promote Plattsburg. Without our membership and volunteers, this list would be much smaller.

• Continued to use the Chamber website to promote current events for the City of Plattsburg.

• Launched "The Chamber Exchange" Newsletter featuring information about the members of the Chamber

• Promoted and helped organize the annual City-wide garage sales.  Free maps were available on the web.

• Television promotion on KQTV in St. Joseph.  A short video spotlight about the City of Plattsburg is featured on television as well as online.  This was available because of the Chamber's membership in The Pony Express Region Tourism Commission.
