CALENDAR
HISTORY AND ACTIVITIES
Founded in November of 1959 the mission of the San Marino
Chamber of Commerce is to promote the economic well-being of the community,
to be an advocate for its members and to provide community leadership.
The Chamber is governed by an eleven to fifteen member
Board of Directors, each serving a two-year term. Officers are chosen from
the Board each year.
Working in partnership with the City, the Chamber plays an
active roll in supporting the local businesses and in recruiting new
businesses to San Marino. Having been an active participant in developing
the City's Commercial Plan, the Chamber is well equipped to assist
prospective businesses in finding a suitable location and obtaining the
necessary permits and business licenses. The Chamber is proud of the working
relationship and what we have accomplished in conjunction with the real
estate and commercial property brokers with listings in the City. We hope
you will contact the Chamber if we can be of assistance.
Each month the Chamber hosts:
Chamber Mixers
Second Thursday of the Month
5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.
Hosted by various local businesses and restaurants
The public is welcome
The Chamber has established an Ambassador Program with an
Ambassador in each business block to act as a liaison between Chamber
members and the Board of Directors. Ambassadors assist at Chamber functions
and have helped establish the BEAT Program (Business Emergency Action Team).
The Chamber has been actively involved with the Prism Committee (Partnership
for Revitalization in San Marino) since its inception and is currently
assisting in a parking study and chairing a committee to design and install
banners in the four commercial districts.
The Chamber is an active participant in various citywide
events. The Annual 4th of July Parade and Fireworks celebration is produced
and sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce in cooperation with the City's
Police, Fire, Parks and Recreation Departments. During the holiday season,
the Chamber and local merchant's host two open house events open to the
public. Both events offer free transportation (London Buses and horse drawn
carriages), refreshments, and entertainment providing an opportunity for
residents, local businesses, friends and neighbors to enjoy a festive
evening in town.
For more information about Chamber events, please watch for
updates on the Chamber calendar. The San Marino Tribune also features
coverage of all Chamber events.
THE
SAN MARINO DIRECTORY
The San Marino Chamber of Commerce purchased the
“original” San Marino Directory in August 2005, from long time owner Gloria
Hooker and is pleased to continue this community tradition.
The “original” San Marino Directory has been in existence
since 1937. The printer of the Directory is Sinclair Printing, founded
in 1929, and is owned and operated by Robert and Dan Sinclair, 4th
generation of the Sinclair family to run the business. They are
lifelong residents of San Marino, assisting the Chamber to keep the
tradition alive as a community directory!
