Donna Visits Zymurgy Brew Works & Tasting Room
|
|
This week I had the opportunity to visit Zymurgy Brew Works and Tasting Room with the Chamber’s HYPE program. HYPE, Helping Young Professionals Excel, is a new monthly program offered to young professional chamber members.
We were enthusiastically greeted by owner Bill Baker. And, when I say enthusiastically greeted, I do mean that. It is evident that Bill is passionate about Zymurgy Brew Works and Tasting Room. But, what is also evident is that Bill is passionate about his job as principal of Victor Elementary School, the largest by enrollment and the most diverse school in Torrance Unified School District.

The program seeks to create an active dialogue among various fields of work within the financial services industry; ultimately leading to meaningful connections, shared client referrals, better understanding of changes in regulation, and best practices.
The September 7th meeting will be a guided networking format; with time for self introductions and an overview of the program's objectives and topics-to-come. RSVP is required for planning purposes and the program is free; available exclusively to current Chamber members and their employees.

Torrance Chamber Presents Highly-Anticipated State of the City Luncheon
|
|
Don’t miss the Chamber’s Annual “State of the City” Luncheon on Thursday, September 27th, when Torrance Mayor Patrick J. Furey will give his annual address to hundreds of businesspeople and community members.
The Mayor has been known to use this event to announce new businesses coming to the area, new City programs being instituted, and other surprises. The Mayor's address is kept completely secret until the day it's delivered, which is largely why this event remains one of the Chamber's most highly-anticipated signature events.
The luncheon also celebrates the Chamber’s Distinguished Citizen of the Year, Steve Morikawa, VP of Corporate Relations and Social Responsibility for American Honda Motor Co., Inc. for his decades-long support of South Bay nonprofit organizations including Pediatric Therapy Network, the Torrance – South Bay YMCA, Providence Little Company of Mary Medical Center and numerous children’s charities.
The event will be held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Torrance – South Bay, with 11:30am registration and 12:00pm program and luncheon. Tickets are just $46 for TACC Members and $60 for non-Members. This event always sells out, so RSVP today!
