Your Mid-Maine Chamber of Commerce today is not the same as it was 10 years ago – or even 5 years ago for that matter. Our committees have assertively stepped up the benefits and offerings that you receive as a member. For service and retail, two of the “bigger” benefits are the Gift Certificate program and the Chamber Advantage Discount Card program. As I mentioned in an email recently, Central Maine Motors has purchased $25,000 in Gift Certificates and plans to purchase more in the very near future. We are also handing out advantage cards to area college students as I speak. PLEASE HELP US HELP YOU BY INDICATING ON YOUR WEB SITE AND IN YOUR MARKETING – INCLUDING FACEBOOK – THAT YOU ACCEPT CHAMBER GIFT CERTIFICATES AND/ OR PARTICIPATE IN THE EXCLUSIVE MEMBER-TO-MEMBER DISCOUNT CARD PROGRAM. This would go a long way in getting the word out that we’re all encouraging the shop locally efforts. Enjoy your fall.
- Kimberly

Complimentary hors d’oeuvres and drinks. Door prizes, 50/50 raffle & other fabulous prizes! $100’s in Chamber Gift Certificates will be given away to one lucky winner in celebration of 100 years!
Mid-Maine Chamber’s Centennial
Charlie Haberstock is 8 years old and has a business card collection of over 1,400 cards. He likes to know about each business and asks many questions so he decided to help us by interviewing some area businesses. Below are excerpts from his interview. Charlie received a little help from his mom, Carrie Haberstock.
There is much more to running a bank than I thought. Over 143 years, Skowhegan Savings Bank has grown into ten departments running the daily operations of ten branches of the bank with one more branch in the works. They help customers put money in or take money out of their accounts, cash checks and make loan payments. Customers are also advised whether or not they should borrow money. They have safe deposit boxes for people to keep their things safe in vaults like jewelry and special papers. The door of the main vault is two and a half tons! In 1961, the main branch of the Skowhegan Savings bank moved to their
current location on Elm St. in Skowhegan from their original building a few blocks away in the center of town. In the 1980s, the bank added a second floor and an addition attached by a tunnel under ground! The entire wall of the tunnel has a mural of Central Maine along the Kennebec with the seasons changing including Sugarloaf painted by artist, Tony Castro. Up on the 2nd floor is the President's office. The President is Mr. John Witherspoon. He commutes from Kingfield every day and loves to keep up company moral by occasional practical jokes and costume wearing. I hear on Halloween he dressed up as a cow! The second floor is also home to the board room where big decisions are made for all of the branches. There are 7 board members and they just recently agreed upon opening an 11th branch in Augusta. Our interview and tour was led by Karen Hart, vice president of marketing. She said that for three years they have been named Continued on page 4 Full Service Office Supplies Retail Store and Furniture Showroom in Downtown, Skowhegan

Centennial continued from page 2 one of the top places to work in Maine based on employee feedback. "Mr. Witherspoon likes to create an atmosphere where employees work hard, receive nice benefits and have a lot of fun. The customers notice this," she says. Keeping its customers happy is most important and the employees are proud that every phone call is answered by a person not an automated message. Also, there are cameras everywhere for security. Mid-Maine Chamber of Commerce has been helpful connecting them with its customers through communications and community events..

Johnny’s Selected Seeds—Now 100% Employee Owned
On the eve of its 40th anniversary, Johnny’s
Selected Seeds is celebrating its transition to 100% employee ownership, making it a timely September Spotlight Member. Benefiting from four decades of Johnny’s experience as a researcher, breeder, and purveyor of seeds and tools, the thriving company’s customers and employee owners alike are well-positioned for the future. Most Mainers who like to grow things look forward to poring over their seed catalogs each year, and many regard Johnny’s like one of the family. With its entrepreneurial roots firmly planted in Maine, the Johnny’s of today is not just a trustworthy local seed company, but is more broadly embraced by growers on a national and international scale. Johnny’s is experiencing robust growth, with more than 130 full-time employees and an expanding customer base in over 60 countries worldwide.
Good things come of loving what you do. Established as a sole proprietorship in 1973 by Robert Johnston, Jr., how did this humble, one -man operation transform itself, gaining a loyal customer following that spans the globe? Given the level of commitment and integrity exemplified by Johnny’s founder and employees, all good things are possible. Johnston’s guiding mission has been “helping families, friends, and communities to feed one another by providing superior seeds, tools, information, and service.” Johnny’s employee owners believe their success can only be assured as long as they continue to provide quality products and information to support grow-
ers’ needs. That commitment includes investment in research, breeding, 24-hour online access, territory representatives with the expertise to help commercial growers, a contact center qualified to answer inquiries from home gardeners as well as commercial growers, and a customer care team dedicated to maintaining Johnny’s 100% satisfaction guarantee. Employee ownership sustains Johnny’s mission. Johnston and his wife, Janika Eckert’s decision to sell Johnny’s to its employees was the perfect means to extend its mission. Looking forward, the future for the Johnny’s family is bright, and the company will continue—as always—to focus on providing superior seeds, tools, information, and service. Johnny’s success depends on its customers’ success—their working motto for nearly 40 years. For more information, visit johnnyseeds.com, or email publicrelations@johnnyseeds.com.
