Hello there,
As a small business owner in the downtown area, I'd love to be a voice to support the Shop Local movement.
There is much data that suggests shopping local benefits towns directly both economically and socially.
It is my hope that the BID, Chamber, City, and other supporting organizations continue to foster a vibrant and thriving downtown, especially as it relates to retail, restaurants, wellness, and music.
There are many ways patrons can support the Shop Local movement and Sarah Tipple of the BID/Chamber does an incredible job at implementing events and fun opportunities for folks to get to know their communities.
I hope we continue to sponsor/support the Shop Local movement so as to generate revenue, create community, engage businesses and patrons alike, and curate a reputation of access and culture in downtown San Rafael.
