On Friday, February 19th, join us for the Joshua M. Freeman Valor Awards Luncheon presented by the Carl M. Freeman Companies at the Den at Bear Trap Dunes. The Bethany Fenwick Area Chamber of Commerce is pleased to honor the outstanding police officers, paramedics, EMTs and firefighters who help keep our local communities safe all year long. This special event recognizes their service and dedication to our community. The event is free to the Chiefs and Awardees & $25 for guests and chamber members to attend and show their gratitude and support to the service men and women of the Quiet Resorts.
After the record-setting attendance in January, you won’t want to miss the next Business After Hours on Wednesday, February, 24th hosted by Bethany Blues. The February event will showcase two spotlight tables, door prizes and a 50/50 raffle. Join in on the greatest networking event in the Quiet Resorts! Registration for all networking events is required, please visit our website at bethany-fenwick.org to reserve your spot.
Guaranteed to be the easiest committee to serve on, the Chamber invites you to be part of the newly developed, Red Carpet Committee. Members of the Red Carpet Committee support Chamber events through their attendance and engagement at member-driven or community events such as Ribbon Cuttings and Grand Openings. When a new event is added to the Chamber calendar, you will receive a calendar invitation to attend the event. If you can attend the event, simply accept the invitation. This is a great way to “stay in the know” of what is going on in our business community, be part of the Chamber team by attending and championing the event. All members will receive a Red Carpet Committee nametag and special recognition on the website. To serve on this committee, simply click here to register for the Red Carpet Committee. This committee was created as the Chamber team values the importance of collaboration and celebration. The entire community wins with every success story, anniversary and newly-opened door. See you at the next event!

Member Spotlight - Portraits in the Sand Who would have thought a photography class in high school would turn into a lifelong passion and career? Well, that is exactly what happened to David Koster of Portraits in the Sand. For more than 25 years, Dave has been creating beautiful portraits that have been treasured by countless families. Certified by the Professional Photographers of America, Dave perpetually strives to perfect his craft with continuing education. Residing in Rehoboth Beach, and a member of six chambers of commerce, Dave joined the Bethany-Fenwick Area Chamber in 2003 to expand his presence south of the Indian River Bridge. According to Dave, there is often a “roadblock between the beaches,” and being an active member of our chamber has certainly grown his business. He also appreciates the educational opportunities the Chamber has to offer. Dave prides himself in the ability to manage family dynamics, children’s napping schedules, weather, lighting and a myriad of other variables to create the perfect keepsake portrait for his clients. Not limited to humans, he is also an expert in photographing our four-legged friends. How about scheduling a “dinner and a portrait” session? Dave collaborates with personal chef Kris Etze to offer a unique “dining and posing” opportunity. Dave offers a 25% discount to BFACC members from October through April, and a 10% discount between May and September. Not limited to the summer season, according to Dave, he is just as comfortable photographing “portraits in the snow” as he is creating Portraits in the Sand. Next time you see Dave at a Chamber event, make sure you smile and say “Chamber!”

Small Business Development Center Reminds Delaware Businesses That Jonas Post-Storm Impact
Assistance Is Available Free of Charge According to CNN’s Money, the effects of Storm Jonas that impacted the Mid-Atlantic Region last week will likely cost businesses and residents $2.5 to $3 billion. In Delaware, coastal and inland flooding, high winds and snow continue to wreak havoc on businesses and homeowners alike. “We know that our small businesses are in the process of assessing their damage, primarily caused by high winds and flooding,” said Bill Pfaff, Director of the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) in Georgetown. “We want to remind those businesses that we are here and offer free services that could assist them to get back up and running. Whether you’ve been in business two years or twenty, if your business has been impacted by Jonas, we may be able to assist with training such as marketing or writing a business plan, as well as help businesses to get prepared for a loan to cover the cost of construction repairs or equipment replacement.” For more information, visit the website at DelawareSBDC.org or call 302-856-1555.
