OCTOBER LUNCHEONS

There are two luncheons in October that members can take advantage of.

 

The first one is the A.W.E. sponsored lunch on Thursday, October 3rd at the Holiday Inn & Suites. Kay McKeen from SCARCE will speak on Healthy Homes and, although the luncheon is FREE, RSVP is necessary and you are asked to bring used books and used keys.

 

Our regular luncheon on October 9th is even better than regular. We will have a Multi-Chamber Progressive event with three other chambers at Glendale Lakes Golf Club starting with 11am registration. The event actually begins at 11:30. Be sure to bring 50 or more business cards. You will visit three different tables of other networking professionals. Nametags prepared and put out on our registration table will show the three tables at which you'll network. Because of the complexity of the event, no walk-ins will be accommodated so register BEFORE October 4th. Here is the registration link...
