| History
of the Gwinn Sawyer Chamber of Commerce |
In
May 1984, two of Gwinn's business persons (Alan Filizetti
and Jeanette Maki) decided to form an Association of Business
Members. We were first known as the Gwinn Area Business
Association and had 80 members. Our purpose was to establish
a communication link between all existing businesses and
area residents.
A quarterly newspaper of ads and community information
was started to promote tourism and economic growth of
the businesses. Today we have over 5,400 copies printed
and delivered to an area within a 25 mile radius. You
may subscribe to the Gwinn Quarterly which comes
out in March, June, September, and November, by sending
a check or money order for $10.00, made out to the Gwinn
Sawyer Chamber of Commerce, to: Gwinn Quarterly,
248 Wellington Drive, Gwinn, MI 49841.
In 1996, forms were submitted to change our name to the
Gwinn Area Chamber of Commerce, find office space and
officially become a Chamber. In the spring of 2000, we
again changed our name to the Gwinn Sawyer Area Chamber
of Commerce. Today we are still providing that same service
to our businesses, but now the community is becoming more
involved. The Chamber offers 24 hour information about
our communities activities, recreation and lodging, schools,
etc.
Today we sponsor a wide variety of events for the community
and our visitors, many who have stated that we provide
the friendliest, exciting, and best "old time family fun"
events that they remember from their childhood days. Come
to our area for fun and relaxation or just to get away
from it all. Check our list of events for a special vacation
time or just come any time for a great Getaway! |
