Many of Brewster's 200 Chamber of Commerce members "reflect the entrepreneurial spirit of the town's seafaring forefathers," says Kyle Hinkle, the chamber's executive director.

With a dedicated board of directors and year-round staff, the chamber serves as a local visitor's bureau, a critical advocate for local businesses, and a vital resource for economic and community development, with a mission to strengthen, support, and promote the members to make Brewster a better place to visit, live, and work.

The chamber hosts two town-wide special events, bringing thousands of visitors to the area during the 'shoulder seasons' of spring and winter.

The chamber's Web site offers extensive member information, a downloadable guide book, local and regional events, tide charts and weather, and links to other resources across Cape Cod.

The Brewster Chamber of Commerce is located at 2198 Main Street, Brewster. For information, call 508-896-3500 or go to www.brewster-capecod.com.
