Join us for lunch the first Thursday of every month and promote your business to fellow Chamber members and prospective members. Build bridges in your local community while generating new business leads and supporting the greatest Chamber - Dana Point!
Networking at Noon is hosted by a different Dana Point Chamber member venue each month. Our generous hosts use this opportunity to "wow" our Chamber members and guests. Your admission fee includes the luncheon, a non-alcoholic beverage, tax and gratuity.
