NORWICH – The Sidney Federal Credit Union will host the Annual “Meet the Candidates” Chamber Business After Hours from 5 to 7 p.m. Oct. 20 at their Norwich location on the corner of County Route 32 and State Highway 23.

As we look toward Election Day, Nov. 2, 2010, the business community will play a critical role in engaging citizens from across the country in the legislative and political process. “This event provides members an opportunity to be face to face with our legislative candidates in an informal setting to discuss the issues and ask questions that may be important to your business,” says Maureen Carpenter, President & CEO of Commerce Chenango. “This is a critical time for New York State, and with high stakes elections, it is important to get out and vote.”
