Member Testimonial 
“The First Friday Networking Breakfast is an energetic, fun-filled opportunity for members and guests to promote themselves and their business in a welcoming environment. David,
at Cuff Restaurant, provides a hearty breakfast, which adds to the event’s appeal. There is an opportunity during the meeting to give a brief “commercial” for your business, as well as to learn about the other businesses both through the typical business card exchange, and a Business Spotlight, where a selected Chamber member is featured in a 15 to 20 minute presentation. Further, it is always good to have an update from the Mayor of Glendale. I have personally benefited by receiving business from the event, as well as meeting new Chamber members and getting to know long-time members on a deeper level. It’s not a heavy time commitment – one day a month.
And, it serves as a compliment to the other events throughout the month.”

Member Testimonial 
"I always enjoy the Glendale Chamber events! They are a fun way to meet members of the community, gain new business connections and build lifelong relationships. Coffee & Connections is a great morning event that gets you out of the normal breakfast mixers; and into a face to face, get to know YOU personally, setting. I especially like the relaxed feel and the ease of getting to know so many people at these types of events. The Chamber is always encouraging people
to exchange business contacts, new ideas, and support each other, that’s what it’s
all about! I’m very proud to be a part of
this group and I hope you will join us at
the next Coffee & Connections so
you too can help your business grow!"
