Susie Weiss, my entire team and our many volunteers worked their magic in coordinating another very successful Chamber Golf Outing at Callippe on October 1. I can’t thank our event sponsors enough for their support. This includes: Big O Tires of Pleasanton, 1st United Credit Union, Gene’s Fine Foods, Golden 1 Credit Union, Insperity, John Muir Health, OMRON and Stanford Health Care-ValleyCare. We also had several theme hole sponsors and over 130 golfers participating that made this year’s event a huge success!

We are also pleased to hold another special event on Wednesday, October 20, 2021 from 5:00-7:00 p.m. at Barone’s Backyard to honor our 2020 Community Service Award recipients and celebrate the chamber’s 75th anniversary. We invite the entire Pleasanton community to join us for hors d’oeuvres, drinks and live music from Retroactive, featuring high energy music from Motown to today’s hits, all outside in the beautiful backyard of Barone’s.

If this wasn’t enough, we have three more mixers scheduled for the year on October 13 at Cellar Door in the back patio, on November 10 at All Natural Stone in partnership with the Dublin Chamber of Commerce, and on December 8 at Venture X in Pleasanton. We continue to provide opportunities for you to make new connections and grow your business. I sincerely hope you will take advantage of these opportunities.

If there are additional ways we can help your business during this time, please contact me by email at steve@pleasanton.org or by phone at 925-846-5858 ext. 204.
