November 28 marks the sixth-annual Small Business Saturday, a day to support the local businesses that create jobs, boost the economy and preserve our neighborhoods. The Port Washington Chamber of Commerce announced its participation as a Neighborhood Champion in this year’s Small Business Saturday.
Small Business Saturday was created by American Express in 2010 as the ceremonial kickoff to the holiday shopping season. The event raises awareness of the vital role small businesses play in our community and our economy. For every $100 you spend in your local small businesses, $68 stays in our community through jobs, taxes, contributions to nonprofits and more. For every $100 you spend online, zero stays in our community. The Port Washington Chamber of Commerce urges all Port Washington residents to help strengthen our community by supporting local small businesses who support our town all year. “Try Port First” for all your holiday shopping on Nov. 28 and all year long.
For suggestions about where to find that perfect gift, call the Chamber at 516-883-6566 or go online to www.pwguide.com.
