Allendale Area Chamber Releases The Announcer March 2026 Issuu Flipbook

The Allendale Area Chamber of Commerce published the March 2026 issue of The Announcer on March 2, 2026 and posted a digital copy as an Issuu-hosted flipbook. The Original Report notes that “The Issuu-hosted flipbook provides a digital copy of the March newsletter and functions” — the sentence in the source stops after “functions,” and no further description of functionality is provided.

Chamber materials describe the newsletter’s frequency and distribution in two ways in the same set of documents. One line calls The Announcer “the Allendale Chamber’s monthly community newsletter.” The chamber’s advertising text states, “The Announcer, a publication of the Allendale Area Chamber of Commerce, is distributed to thousands of mailboxes in Allendale Township six times per year and digitally monthly.”

The March issue’s promotional and advertising language is reproduced in chamber copy. The chamber writes, “Advertising rates are reasonable and contract options include monthly and discounted semi-annual and annual rates. Start promoting your business to every business and resident in Allendale for as little as a penny per mailbox today!” The newsletter also solicits contributions with the line, “We welcome and encourage Announcer readers to share their stories, give perspective to the history of Allendale, highlight an exceptional community member/volunteer/leader, etc... SUBMIT COMMUNITY NEWS HERE.%0A”

The March materials list local organizations, events and businesses featured or inserted in the issue. Those names appear in the source in this order: Allendale Christian School, Allendale Rotary, Back to School Fair, BizStream, City2Shore Gateway Group, Commercial Bank, Countryside Greenhouse, Edgewater Works, Edward Jones, Family Vision Optical, Grand Explorer’s Trail Race, Grand Valley State University, Honor Credit Union, Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, Kaz Transmissions, Lake Michigan Dance Academy, Leprino, Life Stream Church, M45 Celebration, Maria Huistra Coldwell Banker, Meade Zolman Family Dentistry, NB Outlet, Solid Rock Childcare, Trail Point Brewing Company.

The chamber’s sponsorship recognition appears verbatim in the March materials. The “Thank You to Our 2026 Chamber Partners!” block lists: Allendale Eye Care; Allendale Eye Care; LMCU; LMCU; AcenTek; AcenTek; Country Window & Door; Country Window & Door; Honor Credit Union; Honor Credit Union; Tommy's Express; Tommy's Express; DDA; DDA; Allendale Area Chamber of Commerce logo. The “Thank you to our 2025 Announcer Adversiting Businesses!” block lists: Ace Hardware; Allendale DDA; Allendale Eye Care; Allendale Fire Department; Allendale Public Schools; Allendale Charter Township; Allendale Christian School; Allendale Rotary.

The chamber promoted the March issue on social media the same day it published the flipbook. The Instagram item is dated “Photo by Allendale Chamber on March 02, 2026.” The fragmentary caption in the source reads exactly: “May be an image of ... ANNOUNCER An Allendale and Surrounding Area Publication dep Lucky to be in”

The chamber emphasizes archived digital access and branding in the March materials: “The Announcer Archives — All Digital Issues on ISSUU (September 2022 to current)!” and the chamber tagline “Connecting Business to Success” appears in the source alongside section headings such as “What's Going On,” “Winners,” “M45 Celebration,” and “Honor CU.” The March 2026 issue therefore combines monthly digital publication via Issuu, print distribution to thousands of Allendale Township mailboxes six times per year, named local partners and advertisers, and direct calls for community submissions and advertising.
