Welcome to 2015
A Message from Debbie Carman, President
As President of the Chamber, I am excited to be ringing in
the new year, once again, in this outstanding community!
For over 100 years now the Trenton Area Chamber of
Commerce has been a voluntary organization of
professional men and women who join together for the
purpose of promoting the civic and commercial progress
of our area. We act as spokesmen for the community as a
whole, both statewide and local. We believe that working
together as a community helps bring success to Trenton!
In this office, we strive to promote your business through
our monthly newsletter “Member Moments”. In the
upcoming months, as you plan your events, we ask that
you let us help promote your activities. We believe this
brings awareness to our community and, in turn, makes
your event a success. We will also be printing a new

Chamber directory in 2015. We will be giving everyone
we can an opportunity to advertise their business and/or
organization. We invite each of you to view our Chamber
website (www.trentonmochamber.com) where you will
find every member, along with their address, listed. This
website is one more way we can promote our members.
Here’s a fun fact for you: we have an average of 2,200
viewers on our website each month! That’s A LOT of
people potentially looking at your business information
and, possibly, clicking over to your website!
Everyone is welcome to participate in our Chamber
luncheons, Chamber Coffees, ribbon cuttings and After
Hours events. If you haven’t hosted a Chamber Coffee or
Business After Hours event yet, won’t you consider doing
so in 2015?
Please mark your calendars now for March 13, 2015. This
is the date for our annual banquet. More information
coming soon.
Once again, I look forward to working with a great group
of people in this community!

The Trenton Area Chamber of Commerce will be
printing a new directory for Trenton this year.

qualify as large businesses.
As in years past, the winners will be announced and

New Windows for the Chamber
The Trenton Area Chamber of Commerce has had the
windows on the front of the building replaced.
The front office, if you ever spent much time in there in
the winter, was colder than it should have been. Upon
removing old panes, the installer noted that there was
no insulation around the edges of the window frames.

Great Northwest Days
Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP)
Each year in February, the state hosts an opportunity
for individuals to visit the state capitol for purposes of
meeting their representatives and informing them of
issues pertaining to their home towns and
communities.
The Trenton Downtown Improvement Association (TDIA) is
selling tax credits through the Neighborhood Assistance
Program (NAP). NAP tax credits allow donors who
contribute to qualified non-profit organizations in Missouri
to receive 70% of their contribution back as a state tax
credit. These credits can be used for up to six (6) tax
periods, including the current year.
This year, northwest Missouri communities are invited
to Jefferson City on February 3 and 4, 2015 for Great
Northwest Day. For more information and to register,
citizens may visit www.greatnorthwestday.com.
Shop Local
As we enter a new year, let’s consider keeping more of
our money locally here in Trenton. If you think about it,
most things we need we can get here in Trenton. Some
of the same items we purchase in other towns end up
costing the same amount of money once you drive to
and from another location and spend the “saved”
money in gas or diesel.
Also, consider that our local businesses are the ones
who support and help sponsor our local sports teams,
schools, activities and other events. Shouldn’t we
support them as well?
We, as the Trenton Area Chamber of Commerce,
promote our members as well as our community. We
strive to be a positive voice in the community for our
local businesses as well as in the state for our
community as a whole. Won’t you join us in supporting
our community and local businesses?
Who can use NAP credits? The answer is Corporations,
insurance companies, express companies, banks & other
financial institutions, partnerships, limited liability
companies, and individuals who operate a sole
proprietorship in MO, operate a farm in MO, have rental
property in MO or have royalty income in MO.
How it works:
1.
Make a contribution of $1,000 or more to Trenton
Downtown Improvement Association.
2.
