integrating your Pinterest efforts with
your website as well as other marketing and social media efforts.

how Pinterest can

businesses,
drive
web traffic, increase
sales, and generate
relationships
with
consumers. We’ll share with you
how the Scotts Valley Chamber of
Commerce can further share your
Pinterest ideas and assist with your
marketing efforts. At the end of the
presentation, Ms. Claman will be
able to help you set up your Pinterest accounts. Be sure to bring your
laptops and get started with this new
marketing vehicle.
The seminar will begin at 11:00
a.m. sharp, so don’t be late. We will
break for a luncheon at noon, where

Scotts Valley Chamber of Commerce Hits the Streets of Scotts Valley
T
hursday, April 18th, The Scotts Valley Chamber
of Commerce business members, Board of
Directors and Ambassadors will be walking
the streets of Scotts Valley in their second “BIZ
WALK” event. Representatives of the Chamber
will be joined by City leaders to walk the streets of
Scotts Valley visiting with our local businesses and
asking, “How’s business?” The goal of this “Walk”
is to give individual business owners and managers
the opportunity to talk with the business and civic
leadership of our City who have the ability to act on
their behalf and work together to ensure a more prosperous business climate here in Scotts Valley, based
on the information we garner from our local business
owners. The BIZ WALK program offers an excellent
opportunity to listen to the local business community,
identifying common themes for action while bringing
together educational resources, City services and representatives of the business community.
This is not a membership drive or a sales call.
This is a program designed specifically to help
businesses in the community stay in business by
identifying business needs and strengths in our
Community.
We will walk in teams and are looking for Scotts
Valley Chamber of Commerce business members
who will volunteer to walk with our Chamber Board
of Directors and Ambassadors as we conduct our
second “BIZ WALK.” If you can make a few hours
available during business hours on Thursday, April
18, to assist us in this endeavor, we ask you to contact
the Scotts Valley Chamber of Commerce at info@
scottsvalleychamber.com or call us at 438-1010. Call
now as our walking teams are being formed.
As a business owner or manager, start thinking
about how your business has been doing in comparison to 2011 and welcome our teams as they visit
on April 18 – 9 am to 5 pm. We are looking forward
to this opportunity to talk with as many of our Scotts
Valley businesses as possible. We’ll see you on the
Streets of Scotts Valley April 18th!

Spring Into Action
Become A Sponsor For One of Scotts Valley’s Favorite Community Events
S
pring is the time when we make plans
for, graduations, weddings, vacations,
and, of course, the 14th Annual Scotts
Valley Art & Wine Festival, August 10 & 11th.
Continually voted Scotts Valley’s Fave or Rave
Community Event, this Festival is our Chamber’s gift to the community and we would like
to invite you to take part in making 2013 the
best festival yet. We will be celebrating our 14th
year of the Festival and plans are underway
for a great weekend in Skypark.
The Scotts Valley Art & Wine Festival is such a great event because of our
Fantastic Sponsors. We are beginning our
search for that elite group of Businesses who
will sponsor this
great event. Our
advertising efforts
have
increased
the attendance of
this Festival over
the years, and we
need our business
sponsors to keep the awareness high and the
event thriving. Sponsorships are now being
accepted for the 14th Annual Scotts Valley Art
& Wine Festival. Join with fellow business
members and link your name to this great
event as we expand our advertising even
more with your logo. Spring into Action and
Welcome Farah Galvez Theissen
to Scotts Valley Chamber Board
F
arah Galvez Theissen, co-owner
of Globus New Media LLC, is
our newest addition to the Scotts
Valley Chamber of Commerce Board
of Directors. Her company, which she
co-owns
with
her
husband,
Uli Theissen, is
also known as
GoboSource.
What is a
Gobo you might
ask? Well, it’s a
glass or metal disk
with a laser etched Farah Galvez Theissen
logo or design that you can shine onto a
building or wall. Comparable to a slide
projector but on a larger scale. These
entrepreneurs have been doing this for
8years. “We’ve been blessed to have
started a business and survived the
economic downturn. Actually showing
fiscal growth year on year,” says Farah.
Farah and Uli have two active
boys, ages 14 and 7. Both are attending
Scotts Valley Unified Schools. Their
children were one of the main reasons
why they moved their family and
business to Scotts Valley from San Jose
in 2010. Farah says, “The schools here
have dedicated teachers, substantial
administration and a community that
will not allow our schools to fail.”
As a lead member of Save Our
Schools Scotts Valley, Farah was active
in helping to pass Measure K – Parcel
Tax Initiative. “Passing Measure K was
another way that our community rallied
together to show that our children and
our schools are important,” shared
Farah. But her husband Uli jokingly
says the other main reason for moving
was the proximity to world-class
mountain bike riding, which he does
weekly with the riding group OTC.
When not in the office, Farah is
helping raise money for SVHS Parent
Club whose primary objective is to help
fund Academic Endeavors at the high
school. She also loves volunteering in
the elementary classroom because she
says, “The energy of the children keeps
me motivated and it’s never a dull
moment being around 6 & 7 year olds!”
Currently, she is helping the Chamber
organize this year’s Scotts Valley Art &
Wine Festival. If you have not helped
sponsor this event, Farah may be contacting you.
She enjoys cooking, entertaining,
and spending down time with family at
their house in Tahoe City. “The people I
have met through the Chamber of Commerce have become like family to me,”
says Farah. “I feel that Scotts Valley is a
Healthy Community - Healthy Schools,
Healthy Business Community, Healthy
Environment. This is a wonderful place
for my family to live and work!”
We welcome Farah Galvez Theissen to the Scotts Valley Chamber of
Commerce Board of Directors and look
forward to her business leadership,
ideas and energy.

Treehouse Pizza is a local Scotts Valley

Amanda have a long-term vision for the restaurant to become the place in Scotts Valley

celebrate sports, family, and fun.
Chad and Amanda chose to change the
