Hello, Chino!
You know those people in High School: they never seem to be part of only one friend group — they’re in everyone’s friend group. They hop seamlessly from this lunch table to the next, show up to football games buddying everyone up, lead the community bake sale, fist bump the janitor… you get the idea.
So we had a question: Who would be that person for Chino Valley???
cue “Popular” from the Wicked soundtrack
Want the answer? Hold on to your theoretical horses, Chino, we have a surprise September event for you. Behold:
The Chew Referral Contest! 🥳
You might be wondering: “Okay cool, where do I show up?!” But rest assured. It’s held in your very own device. All you have to do is simply share the Chew with your friends. We have created custom links unique to everyone, and when you forward the Chew and they sign up, we automatically tally up your scores!
Prizes. What’s in it for you? Well, for anyone that can get 3 folks to sign up will win a FREE Birthday Shoutout on an issue of the Chew. Imagine celebrating your birthday with all Chewies or surprising your special someone a Chino-wide birthday wish!
First Prize. For the Super Connector with the most referrals, we will gift you a $100 gift card to a surprise local restaurant! (And potentially some other fun things, like our first Chew merch under production).
The Party will last until Halloween. Be creative! Post to your FB groups, your mom besties group chat, your HOA enemies. We’ve grown to 3000+ and strong all because of you so far — help us make our community vibrant and fun! 🫶
Party link is below. As always, we have another info-packed issue for you today.
Let’s get into it.
