WIN A TRIP PUERTO PLATA
There’s still time to get in on Greater Moncton Chamber of Commerce’s draw for an all-inclusive trip for two to the Dominican Republic. All you have to do is refer a business or non-profit organization to join the Chamber and you’ll receive two ballots for a chance at the draw, which also includes a second prize of a Blackberry and a six-month service combo. And the more referrals, the more chances. The Grand Prize Draw takes place, Tuesday, January 24, at the next Business after 5 (which DMCI is sponsoring) at Club Cosmopolitan.
