montrose–Verdugo City Chamber:

I would like to introduce the Chamber’s new members who saw the value in joining the Chamber this month: Bob Smith Toyota located at 3322 Foothill Blvd. in La Crescenta. Contact Pete or Mike Smith at (818) 248-9363 to find out how you can drive off the lot in that new or used car that you’ve always wanted. They just added another location directly across the street, so there are plenty of vehicles to choose from. Also, check out their website at www.bobsmithtoyota.com

Pedal Spin Studio located at 2236 Honolulu Ave. in Montrose. Call Cindy Bell at (818) 957-9100 and schedule your spinning and or yoga class, you’ll feel like a million bucks. Check out the website at www.pedalspinstudio.com

The key to the Chamber’s success is through our Chamber members, those that renew and those that join. We cannot do it without your help. Thank you to those that feel the Chamber is an important part of the community.

For a $20 savings, sign up before Aug. 11 to exhibit a booth and advertise your business at The Foothills Community Business Expo on Sept. 10. After that, the price will be $120; why not take advantage of the savings? We still have room and the more the merrier. The community looks forward to this event to see old, familiar faces and meet new faces. Let the community know, “Hey I’m here in town and look forward to your business.” Only Chamber members can exhibit a booth, so if you’re not a member, now is the time to join with our special running through the end of August.

Would you like to see your business listed as a sponsor for the Oktoberfest? Call the Chamber for details on how you, too, can be recognized as a sponsor.

A major sponsor is Montrose Travel and a silver sponsor is Montrose Bike Shop. Oktoberfest supporters include Robbin’s Nest Preschool, New Moon Restaurant, S.I.G. Property Management, Cal National Bank, Andy’s Transfer & Storage, Southern California Edison, Amado Plumbing, Tender Treasures and Bob Smith Toyota.

Residential supporters are Jack and Marilyn Kashirsky, and Mark and Anne Frazee.

The Chamber is located at 3516 N. Verdugo Road in Glendale and can be reached Monday though Thursday from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. and on Friday from 9 a.m. until noon at (818) 249-7171. We can also be reached by e-mail at mvcc@montrosechamber.org.
