CAZENOVIA — On Monday, June 19, the recently established Greater Cazenovia Area Chamber of Commerce Events Committee launched a new website, Cazenovialife.com, and announced its new “Caz Life” logo.
The committee is responsible for continuing and developing the chamber’s traditional events, including the Fourth of July, the Christmas Walk, Block Fest, Ladies’ Night Out, Men’s Night, and business after-hours, and for creating additional events.
According to Ralph Monforte, who owns Cazenovia Jewelry and donated $10,000 to help get the events committee off the ground, the new logo features two light posts as “a nod to” the Lakeland Park Pier.
The new website will highlight upcoming community events hosted by local merchants as well as non-profits and other organizations.
“The idea is to give people from inside the community and outside the community a way to find out what’s going on and how wonderful [Caz] is,” said Monforte.
The committee is also planning to post QR codes linked to its website in local businesses, the library, the post office, and the village and town offices.
“If you’re staying at the hotel, we will have one for every room and one for the front desk,” Monforte said. “When you’re sitting at a restaurant waiting for your food, you can hit that QR code, and it will tell you exactly what’s going on in the community.”
Additionally, the events committee is releasing a limited line of Caz Life merchandise including t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, water bottles, and bags.
The mission of the Cazenovia chamber is to benefit the local economy and enhance the community’s quality of life by actively serving, representing, and enhancing business growth and success, and by providing programs and activities to improve interaction between local businesses and the Cazenovia area communities.
