MONTESSORI CHILDREN'S SCHOOL BBQ DINNER LINK - $80 FEEDS SIX!

********

In today’s episode of Up+Adam, we’re spotlighting a program that turns your holiday spending into a win-win for both you and the local economy. Adam sits down with Jim Dantona, President and CEO of the SLO Chamber of Commerce, and Jacqui Clark-Charlesworth from the City of San Luis Obispo, to discuss the Buy Local Bonus program. Back for its fifth year, this initiative rewards shoppers with $25 gift cards for every $100 spent at small, local retailers in SLO.



With the program injecting over $940,000 into the local economy last year, Jim and Jacqui share how the partnership between the City and the Chamber of Commerce makes it all happen, the challenges they’ve overcome, and why this program is so vital to the community. Plus, we explore how incentives like free downtown parking sweeten the deal for holiday shoppers and what’s next for Buy Local Bonus.

Support local businesses this holiday season, and learn more about the Buy Local Bonus program at BuyLocalBonusSLO.com. For more updates from the SLO Chamber of Commerce, visit SLOChamber.org.

Breaking and Entering Jingle Jam is officially happening! This is a chance for all of us to come together, raise some funds for our Breaking and Entering Christmas mission, and celebrate the season with some great local music. Mark your calendars for Friday, December 13th, at SLO Brew Rock—now called Rod and Hammer’s Rock. We’ve got an amazing lineup including Damon Castillo, Dante Marsh, Josh Rosenblum, Kenny Lee Lewis from the Steve Miller Band, and Michael Venia from Carbon City Lights. More artists are being added as we speak, and I couldn’t be more excited to see how this is coming together. I’ll have more info next week on how to get your tickets, but in the meantime, head over to adammontiel.com to learn more, donate, or support our Breaking and Entering Christmas efforts. Let’s make this holiday season special for a family who truly needs it.
