The Lisle Area Chamber is here for your business during these difficult and challenging times. If
your business has any information that you would like us to share with your fellow Chamber

here for you and your business and whatever we can be of assistance with, please reach out to us,
we are here to help!
Please email Jill a short video about your business, 2-3 minutes in length taken on either an
iPhone or Android. We are working on putting this information out to the community.

CHAIR MESSAGEChristopher Pellico, Chair

Dear Fellow Chamber Members,
This month I am not writing to you as the Chairman or even a fellow chamber member, I
am writing to you as a neighbor, a friend and a “Lisle area family member.” While we have
all been asked by our government leaders to practice social distancing, now more than ever
we need to come together to support each other during these difficult times. Certainly, we
are challenged to think about how we can come together but let’s start with a common goal
– to ensure our chamber member businesses remain strong.
To start driving towards this common goal I believe we need to think differently. As the
community counts on us to provide goods and services, albeit through different means –
delivery, pick-up, etc. – we must count on each other. Within our chamber we have a wide
variety of businesses and I would encourage the members to look at potential ways to team
together – restaurants using advertising/media businesses for any print materials or any
business use local industrial supply and service businesses for cleaning needs. I am
confident there are many more opportunities for our members to work together. I am
confident that if we think differently and work together as a team then we will remain
strong.
The very best in all of us will shine through and we will get through this TOGETHER! To
close, I hope you and your families are safe and healthy.
Regards,
Christopher J. Pellico

Jill Eidukas, Executive Director
Dear Members,
These are challenging times for businesses, families and
community. We thank our essential business owners for
staying open, we thank our police and fire departments for
always being there when we need them. We thank medical
staff putting their lives on the line for others. We thank our
teachers for creating new and safe learning platforms. We
thank the community that is not stuck at home but you are
safe at home.
The Lisle Area Chamber of Commerce has been
communicating with our Members through E-blasts,
Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. We have posted new
content about opportunities for our businesses from
Federal, State and Small Business Association (SBA)
programs on our website so check there for updates. Many
of our restaurant and retail businesses have curb-side pick-
up, delivery and online gift cards available. We have
postponed all events until further notice, but that doesn’t
mean we can’t help showcase your business. Please email
us a social media ad. We also would like you to send us
short video from your business about your business. The
short video could be an online “how-to” cook, paint,
network or any specialty you can offer. We can link to
your website from this video. Our LINCT committee has
already had one virtual meeting. Watch your e-mails for
next LINCT virtual meeting.
So, now for the time being we will continue to help you
promote your businesses remotely. Remember to check
out our Member-to-Member discounts page on our
website. If you would like us to add your business please
let us know.
Stay safe and healthy,
Jill Eidukas
