We also have access for this event to be Broadcasted LIVE (via Video Stream) on the Internet through our affiliate MFN LIVE: Broadcast Network and also simultaneously on the USTREAM Network to be seen not just in the U.S. but around the world! The Broadcast will be hosted by one of MFN LIVES media hosts and co-hosted by various individuals in the community throughout the day- I.E. Bill Morton; Chamber President, Mark Finley…etc. The Broadcast will showcase all participants (vendors/booths), interviews for the broadcast and also the live entertainment. Coordinated by our very own Membership Committee Chairman / Events Coordinator; Mark Finley of Back In The Days BBQ, we have already begun contacting & or booking Bands and other participants pertaining to the production of this event.

Performance at Charmers Cafe

2011-10-08T16:04:00.001-05:00

Charmers Cafe 1500 W. Jarvis Avenue Chicago, IL. 60626

Sunday, October 9th, 2011 - 3pm

Eliza Rickman's unique and haunting sound combines the lilting sweetness of popular vocalists like Feist or Annie Clark with the gritty sensibilities of PJ Harvey and the playfulness of Kurt Weill.

Eliza recorded her first full-length effort this past winter with Chicago-based engineer Mark Greenberg (Andrew Bird, Wilco, Mavis Staples). It was funded by a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign during her nationwide spring tour,... when over $12k were raised (out of a $6k goal). The album is anticipated for release in the fall of 2011, and highlights Eliza's talent for writing string arrangements, and includes contributions from percussionist Kevin O'Donnell (Andrew Bird's 'Bowl of Fire') & bassist Tom V. Ray (Neko Case, Jakob Dylan).

Two stunning music videos were made in 2010 with Mindfruit Films for songs off her toy piano-based EP, 'Gild the Lily' (2009). The first video ("Cinnamon Bone") was completed in the spring, and is a reverse effect, slow motion short film about a young woman reliving her heartbreak through the seasons. All effects for the video were analog only, and this unique concept landed "Cinnamon Bone" a spot at 2011's SXSW Film Festival. A stop-motion video for "Black Rose" was released six months later.

More about Eliza Rickman HERE.

Successful Unifying Rogers Park event strengthens local chamber

2011-08-01T07:42:00.003-05:00

The Rogers Park community united for success.

Signing nineteen Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce membership certificates.

We are working together so that businesses can survive these difficult economic times in Rogers Park.

I was recently asked "What is your most important role in the Rogers Park community?"

I thought about the many organizations that I am currently a part of including the Willye B. White Park Advisory Council, The Rogers Park/West Ridge Historical Society, the Alden Village North Advisory Council and my efforts with the Citizens for the Adelphi Theater non-profit organization. I replied, "I think that I have accomplished the most good for our community as President of the Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce".

Founding the Rogers Park chamber has been an inspiring labor of love. All of the board members are small business owners or heads of local organizations. We are volunteers who in the best interest of our community, devote our time to preserving great local businesses and boosting Rogers Park business through any means possible. During our recent Unifying Rogers Park event, we connected businesses with clients and encouraged business owners to be vocal about their role in our community. The purpose of this event was

To introduce and refer our community to its local businesses and service organizations. To unify our efforts, to guide businesses, service organizations and individuals to establish new businesses and promote existing businesses within the Rogers Park community.

We feel strongly about and believe in our organization. We personally walk our neighborhood to visit every business in Rogers Park on a regular basis. If a struggling mom-and-pop shop needs a fundraiser, If a transporation hub or storefront needs to be cleared of snow, The Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce represents and supports Rogers Park business.

Membership in the Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce Really Pays Off

2011-03-14T13:03:00.000-05:00

Membership in the Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce Really Pays Off

Local Neighborhood Mix writer recognizes the benefits of Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce membership.

Featured local contributor Whitney Levon researched her subject well when she wrote her article on the benefits of membership in the Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce. Levon writes "The Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce offers several perks to local businesses that join the organization. These perks are all in addition to the usual opportunities to network that you will find in other chambers. Many organizations offer business-to-business networking opportunities and the chance to have your business listed on their website, but not much more than that".

Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce President Bill Morton stated regarding the article "It was a breath of fresh air to read that a local writer really understands that our chamber of commerce is pushing forward to benefit our members and our community in any way that we can. We really do everything possible in the best interest of business in Rogers Park including not only networking events, internet marketing and shoveling storefronts during the winter, but offering many useful options that are geared to build and strengthen our local businesses".

Two examples of member benefits include a $40 discount for graphic design or letterpress printing at member Tweedle Press and One month of free internet service with the purchase of a Clear internet package from member Quest Network Services.
