Curated News You Can Use, From Mill Valley, Marin, the Bay Area & Beyond – Week of Jan. 10

In addition to our weekly updates here on the Enjoy Mill Valley Blog, we also publish an at least weekly newsletter for Mill Valley Chamber of Commerce members, who span from individuals who want to stay engaged with the business and nonprofit communities to businesses of all shapes and sizes.

The Mill Valley Chamber marches to the beat of our own drum.

We do all of the typical chamber of commerce work, including advocating for our business and nonprofit community, informing and educating our members, beautification and networking (monthly mixers when we’re not in a pandemic) etc. But we’re built a bit differently in that we’re our own media shop with our Enjoy Mill Valley website (10,000PVs/month) and related digital newsletters, social channels and print magazines.

We’d argue that we’re one of the best sources of news and information in Marin, a communications pipeline that directly connects to the broader 94941 and Bay Area via maps, magazines and the Enjoy Milll Valley Blog. Among those benefits is a weekly curation of headlines (see below) from near and far within the Chamber’s weekly Friday Flash newsletter.

Want these curated headlines in your inbox each week? A tax-deductible donation of $75 or more to the Enjoy Mil Valley Fund, which supports shovel-ready beautification and infrastructure improvements throughout Mill Valley, from flower plantings and restoration of landmarks like the Gravity Car and Clock Tower to the free Movies in the Park series, will make you a Community Member of the Chamber, giving you many of the benefits above. (And an early-bird heads up when tickets go on sale for our blockbuster debut of the Mill Valley Music Festival on May 7!!

Stay informed, support your community and be an engine for vitality in the coolest place in Marin (yes, we’re biased).
