Al Valente envisions the new Go Local gift card as the Goldilocks of gift-giving.
"If you give someone a specific gift, it's hit or miss," he said. "It might be something they love, it might be something they hate, but it's endearing." Cash, on the other hand, can come off as impersonal.
Enter the Greater Mystic Chamber of Commerce, of which Valente is chairman of the board, and several dozen Mystic-area shops, restaurants, hotels, arts facilities and tourist destinations.
