START THE NEW YEAR OFF RIGHT... JAN. 18TH LUNCH
The beginning of a New Year gives us a fresh outlook and new hope for increased business.  Start it off with a bang at the January 18th (a Thursday) luncheon. We'll be gathering with other chambers for a Progressive luncheon at Bloomingdale Golf Club. 

Will you start off your year with us?


WIB EVENTS: PAST + FUTURE

There were 158 happy, networking people who came out for the November Polka Dot Progressive luncheon -- and 27 of them were men! The energy in the air is always amazing! 

Our next WIB event will be a multi-chamber Speed Networking lunch called "Network Your Heart Out" on January 24th. It's a good time for you to meet a lot of people in a little time, face to face. Mark your calendar...
 

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION: BE IN THE FIVE STAR EXPO 

The annual Five Star Business & Health Expo on February 16th, 2018 is the perfect place to show your products and services. Meet and greet the business and local community by having a table at this event.
 
GOT TRIVIA? FOUNDATION FUNDRAISER

Each year the Chamber awards Scholarships to graduating seniors to help them afford college.  We created a 501(C)3 foundation which accepts donations towards these scholarships.
