Get ready for an a-May-zing month with the Geneva Chamber

May is a month full of reasons to celebrate — from grads and great teachers and coaches to the moms who mean everything. Say thank you to some of the most important people in your life – in one easy stop. Whether you’re honoring graduates, thanking teachers and coaches, or showing appreciation for Mom on Mother’s Day, a Geneva gift certificate is a thoughtful, versatile gift that supports small businesses in Geneva.

Accepted at over 150 shops, restaurants, businesses and services - they are convenient, support local businesses, and never expire. From spa services to home decor or a sweet treat downtown, a Geneva gift certificate ensures that you know your gift will be right every time.

Choose denominations of $10 and $20. Purchase online at genevachamber.com or at the Chamber office, 8 S. Third St. (A 2% service fee is added for any gift certificate purchases using a credit card. Thank you for helping us offset these increasing fees- it helps us give more back to our Geneva Community.)

Ride your favorite ride at the carnival in the Courthouse parking lot. Support one of our local breweries in our Craft Beer Tent- with live music every afternoon.
