Announcing the Newest Exclusive Member Benefit … Cost Segregation!The Chamber is proud to partner with Ira Kalbrosky of Kalbrosky Associates to offer Cost Segregation services with additional savings as an exclusive benefit only available to Chamber members. Cost Segregation allows companies and individuals who constructed, purchased, expanded or remodeled any type of real estate to increase cash flow by accelerating depreciation. Kalbrosky Associates will perform a free initial benefit analysis to see what percentage of your properties could be reclassified. If they do not find savings for your business, you pay nothing. The best part, as a Chamber member, you will receive an additional 5% savings of the total cost for the project. “I want to thank Ira for introducing me to a product that I did not know existed. Cost Segregation allowed me to save significant tax dollars in 2014,” says Mike Cummins, Founder and CEO of MIKEN Builders, “His communication and integrity was impressive, and I highly recommend Kalbrosky Associates.” To learn more about this great new member benefit, visit www.kalbroskyassociates.com.

Member Spotlight, Making Connections
One Coastal and A Sweet Affair Weddings and EventsMost people think of Chamber networking as exchanging business cards at a Breakfast Meeting or Business After Hours. Well, the traditional model has evolved to making connections in a new way. Carlie Carey of One Coastal restaurant in Fenwick Island, and Katina Dawson of A Sweet Affair Weddings and Events represent the perfect example. Back in 2014, Katina was meeting with a bride-to-be client of hers at One Coastal to discuss the upcoming nuptials, and she chatted informally with Carlie that day. Soon after, Katina joined the Chamber, and Executive Director Kristie Maravalli mentioned Carlie from One Coastal had just joined too and they should definitely meet, as they would be a perfect match to collaborate together. Katina then stopped back into One Coastal and as she says “the rest is history.” Katina and Carlie began going to Chamber functions together, became friends, and Katina even works with Carlie at the restaurant, too! What began as a chance meeting became a successful business match, due in part to the Chamber. One Coastal, on Coastal Highway in Fenwick Island, is a charming restaurant enthusiastically run by Carlie and her husband Scott, where everything on their imaginative menu is made from scratch. A Sweet Affair Weddings and Events specializes in wedding and event planning, ranging from consultation to full-service planning and on-site event management, all with a smile. According to Katina, “it’s pretty crazy to find someone you click with in business and in your personal life.” The Bethany-Fenwick Area Chamber of Commerce could be considered the business matchmaker of the 21st century in the Quiet Resorts; just ask Carlie and Katina next time you see them at a networking event.
