MONTHLY LUNCHEON NOVEMBER 11th
We hope you'll attend our monthly chamber luncheon. I honestly think it's the best hour-and-a-half a month you could spend.

We will be at the Holiday Inn & Suit es on Wednesday, November 11th and we will celebrate Veteran's Day. BRING A VETERAN YOU KNOW to lunch that day. Make your reservations to attend by  signing up here...

WOMEN IN BUSINESS LUNCHEON NOVEMBER 18
This month is when our popular "Polka Dot Progressive" luncheon is held. At the Holiday Inn & Suites on Wednesday, November 18th, the "Polka Dot" lunch will attract nearly 200 attendees from more than 10 chambers in the area. Dice are thrown to determine table numbers at which to sit; dots on the dice drive the "polka dot" theme which is often evident in dresses, blouses, sweaters and even ties. Men and non-members are always invited to all Women In Business events. Sign up here and get ready to "Don the Dots."  or 
CHAMBER PARTNERS ON MAP PROJECT
The Carol Stream Chamber and E&M Consulting have partnered to produce our area maps for 2016. They are managing all of the ad sales, creative design, and formatting for us, and we will provide all of the normal content. They are extremely professional and produce a very high quality map, and ask you give E&M Consulting a moment of your time. To reach out to them, contact Brian at 630.566.5218 or brian@emconsultinginc.com for all the details and options.

Please don't hesitate to call the chamber office if you have any questions at all. As always, your support of the Carol Stream Chamber's products and services is greatly appreciated!

HOLIDAY SOCIAL: NETWORKING ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL DEC. 10th
Now that Halloween is over, it's clear that winter and the December holidays are just around the corner (after this week 70-degree weather). The chamber office and committee have been busy with preparing invitations and plans for this event. 

We will gather on Thursday, December 10th at 5:30pm for a night of social networking. Some of the events of the night will include a Spirits Pull, Foundation Tree Decorating, Silent Auction, and ENTERTAINMENT. Some of you may know what that means. Mark your calendar for this very NEON event. Registration will be available online soon.
PARTNERSHIP WITH OFFICE DEPOT = SAVINGS
We want to take a moment to tell you about a discount program that's available to you as a Chamber member.
 
We have joined a group of over 1,000 chambers of commerce to get the best pricing possible on the items you use the most from Office Depot | Max. In addition to office supplies and paper products, they have one of the largest selections of cleaning supplies nationwide, free next-day delivery, your own personal corporate representative and Chamber discount pricing on hundreds of products.
 
Please check out the link on our website for all info or contact Brenda Hickey, our Office Depot representative ( Brenda.hickey@officedepot.com ) to learn about the program's benefits and Chamber discount price points on the products you already use in your office. 
 
Office Depot l Max have had great success in saving Chamber members money, and we hope she can do the same for your business.
