Alden Chamber History

The Alden Chamber of Commerce was organized to actively support business, industry, institutions, organizations and individuals in an effort to enhance the quality of life for the residents of the Village and Town of Alden.

Formed in 1956, the Alden Chamber of Commerce originally sought out doctors for the community and established medical services for the Town. Over the past 45 years, the Chamber has supported numerous community events and developed programs to support and develop business in Alden. The Industrial Park was purchased and started by the Chamber for new businesses to come to the community. They initiated and worked to get the Alden Medical Center, purchased the original Christmas decorations in the Village, and continue to sponsor popular events, such as the Taste of Alden, Christmas in the Park and the Farmers’ Market.

Any reputable person, association, corporation, partnership or estate may subscribe to membership in the Alden Chamber of Commerce

A Message from President Christopher Gust

As we move well into 2012, I wanted to take a moment and thank the great membership of the Alden Chamber of Commerce for your support, which allows the Chamber to fulfill its mission of supporting local business and industry to enhance the quality of life for the residents of the Town and Village of Alden.

The Chamber wrapped up 2011 with a couple of events that were very well received by the community, a Wine and Food Tasting event held at Darrow’s Restaurant in November and our annual Christmas in the Park, held in December. The Chamber was pleased to donate $200 to the Alden Food Pantry from the proceeds of the wine tasting.

2012 begins on a high note as we welcome several new businesses to our community and as Chamber members. Tim Hortons, Verizon Wireless, Hearts & Flour and Gena’s Gems & Gifts are among them. We hope the community supports these new businesses, as well as those businesses of our entire membership. Please see our web site for a searchable directory of our business members.

The Board of Directors of the Chamber, its staff and several volunteers are already hard at work planning several exciting events for the community this year. The Alden Farmers Market will return for its TENTH season in May, the Taste of Alden will kick off the Alden Hook & Ladder Fire Company’s carnival in June, and we are planning our first Alden Chamber Golf Outing in July to raise money for our scholastic scholarship program.

Our Facebook page has been very successful, with over 900 “friends”. If you haven’t already, please check out this great source of up-to-the-minute information on Chamber events and activities, as well as community information.

That’s a small preview of what’s ahead in the New Year. Please know, also, that the Chamber is constantly looking for new and innovative ways to bring the most benefits and value to our membership. If you have any suggestions of what we can do to serve you, please contact me directly via email at cgust@aldenstate.com or our office at secretary@aldenny.org.

Thank you for your friendship and support as we work together to make our community the best it can be and “Alive and Growing”.

Yours truly,

Christopher Gust
