We are working with Atlantic Publications on the 2009 edition of the Chamber Resourse and Information Guide.  Our sales person, Patrick Lennon, has started contacting members and you should have received your information verification letter for the 2009 Directory listing and the Ad information in yesterday's e-mail.
 
As you know, we mail the directory out to 15,000 Los Gatos residents each year as well as distribute an additional 2,500 copies through the Chamber office and other member locations.  Please not only verify your information through Atlantic and take advantage of the ad opprtunity but make sure that your information is up to date in our database by using your business login and password on our website.  If you need assistance, please don't hesitate to contact the Chamber office.
