Thanks to the generosity of Kennebec Savings Bank, Mid-Maine Chamber Gift Certificheck sponsor, it is able to now offer increased options when purchasing gift checks with the introduction of the $5 check. Mid-Maine Chamber of Commerce Gift Checks now come in denominations of $5, $10, $25 and $50.
“Over the years, we have had requests for $5 and $15 gift checks, requests that we’ve been unable to fulfill until now,” remarks Chamber CEO Kim Lindlof. “This will allow companies like Liberty Mutual for example to offer a $5 gift check to individuals who provide a referral, which is something that it offers at its table at various events around the region.”
Gift Checks can be used for many different purposes. Some local businesses have used them to buy back unused sick time or vacation pay while other used them to pay out employee bonuses. Gift checks have been listed on bridal registries due to their flexibility. Many local realtors provide them to those that either list or purchase a house with them. During the holidays, they are used for teachers’ and coachs’ gifts, stocking stuffers, and anonymous gifts to those in need. (Gift checks can either be made out to a specific person, or to a specific business like CMP, for example as a gift for those struggling to pay their electric bill.) From golf balls to gas, dry cleaning to decorations, you can purchase just about anything that you need locally with Mid-Maine Chamber Gift Checks.Mid-Maine Chamber Gift Checks are available for purchase at the Mid-Maine Chamber, Monday–Friday, 8:00 am–5:00 pm and can be used at
approximately 180 area Mid-ME Chamber member businesses. Since its inception in 1997, Mid-ME Chamber has sold over $1.3M in gift checks, thereby providing the sale to our member businesses, keeping the money in our local economy.
From the President’s Chair: Gift CertifichecksOffer Greater Flexibility
