Have a Magical (& Local) Season

The holiday season always promises to be a wonderous time filled with the signs and sounds of Christmas!
 
This year you can add some special Holiday cheer and boost the local economy by shopping, dining, exploring, and enjoying all things local with Temple Chamber of Commerce members!
 
Did you know that every dollar you spend cycles over in our community?
 
As if by magic, the dollars spent locally cycle through the Temple area economy as much as seven times. In other words, every $1 spent locally equals $7 in local economic impact. It is really not magic, but the power of economics.
 
Think of how those dollars help everyone. Every dollar spent in the Temple area strengthens our community. The stores, restaurants, and entertainment facilities we patronize pay taxes. Those taxes help pay for the ser­vices we expect, such as police, fire, and infrastructure. These businesses also pay salaries and wages to our neighbors, family, and friends.
 
You can purchase all the goods and services imaginable in the Temple area. Join us this year by thinking about shopping with Temple Chamber Members first to keep our “magical” dollars at home and be part of building the local economy!
 
This Holiday season, and always, give local businesses your support. There is no need to roam as the best shop­ping is at home. Let's have a Temple area Christmas!
