The Greater Clinton Area Chamber of Commerce is giving you the chance to win…several chances to win, actually.
For the 6th year in a row, it’s the Clinton Chamber’s ‘Receipt to Receive’.
Folks can now bring in a receipt from a Clinton Chamber business that’s a retail business or restaurant, or email that receipt, and you will then be entered to win. Thus…Receipt to Receive.
At the Chamber, we will copy or scan that receipt and get your name and phone number.
Keep in mind that the item(s) on your receipt must be at least $25 in purchases on that receipt and those items need to be purchased from members of the Clinton Chamber to be entered, but you can enter multiple times each week with different receipts.
Each week, those receipts will be entered into a drawing to win a $25 Chamber gift certificate. We will give our prize away each Monday. To be entered to win each Monday, you must bring at least one receipt to the Chamber that previous week. All qualifying receipts will be eligible for our grand prize giveaway.
On Christmas Eve, we will take ALL those receipts entered and draw the big winner of $200 in Chamber certificates.
The Clinton Chamber of Commerce is giving away $400 in Chamber gift certificates with our eight weekly winners and that grand prize winner of $200 in Chamber gift certificates.
We are open Monday through Friday from 8am until 4:30pm at 200 South Main St.
You can find a list of Clinton Chamber members when you go to www.ClintonMO.com, call the Clinton Chamber at 660-885-8166, email joyce@clintonmo.com, or look for the Clinton Chamber decal near the front of each business.
Once again, receipts will only be accepted from Chamber retail businesses and restaurants.
Good luck!

Dear Kind-Hearted Friend,
If you’re like me, the end of the year is a time to reflect on things that truly matter: connection, community, and caring.
At Care Connection, all three are at the heart of our mission. Older adults today are redefining retirement with a different vision of aging, one designed with active, engaged adults in mind. At the heart of this new chapter is a growing need for resources and services that support not just physical well-being but social and emotional health, too. That’s where Care Connection comes in.
Did you know that social isolation can increase a senior’s risk of premature death as much as smoking 15 cigarettes a day?
Isolation is more than a feeling. It increases numerous health risks, including depression, memory loss, diabetes, stroke, and mobility issues. But the programs and services offered by Care Connection can help older adults find friendship, meaning, and purpose. We offer meals, activities, fitness programs accessible from home, health resources, caregiver support, help with Medicare, and much more. We’re here to help older adults stay independent, active, engaged, and connected to their community.
But we can’t do it alone.
Could you make a year-end gift of $50, $100, or more to provide connection, purpose, and support to older adults through Care Connection? Whether it’s helping someone find friendship after loss or access a service they didn’t know existed, your generosity makes all the difference.
Please consider making a gift today. Help build a future where no older adult feels invisible or alone. Your gift in any amount will make a difference. You can give a general donation, or select your preferred senior center at goaging.org/donate.
With Gratitude and Warm Regards,
Wendy Martin
Executive Director
