Megan DeFranco, Camp CoryThe Yates County Chamber has been a great resource for Camp Cory. The Chamber has hosted Business After Hours at Camp, which introduced the community to our facilities and services. The team is always supportive of our mission and promoting our day and overnight camps. The staff is professional and helpful and has far reach in the community. If you are a business in the area, I highly recommend membership in the Yates County Chamber.
Christine Pyanoe, Aubergine Bed and BreakfastWhen I moved to Penn Yan six years ago it was pretty scary. I didn’t know very many people and was embarking on a whole new life, including opening a business for the first time. One of the first people to reach out to me was Mike Linehan from the Yates County Chamber of Commerce. He made me feel welcome and educated me on the many resources that were available through the Chamber. I took advantage of many of them, including Networking Nights and business counseling from Score. Now, here I am a business owner and a Chamber Board member! I am so grateful to Jess, Jody and the entire team for their continued support.
