The Pleasanton Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the return of its monthly in-person networking mixers. Porky's Pizza Palace will host the Chamber's first in-person mixer since the beginning of the pandemic on Wednesday, July 14, 2021.

Networking mixers are a benefit of chamber membership, and are free for chamber members to attend.

Did you know Porky's is open for lunch seven days a week and has great lunch specials for you to enjoy during the work week, including everthing from their delicious fried chicken to personal pizzas to pasta and sandwiches.

Every second Wednesday of the month at 7:30 a.m., the Chamber brings stakeholders together to focus community resources, time and talent to achieve greater understanding of issues, obstacles and opportunities related to Pleasanton 2025: A Community Vision.

Everyone is invited to our July Pleasanton 2025 Forum meeting via Zoom or in-person. Our guest speaker is Ellen Clark, Director, Community Development for the City of Pleasanton. Ellen will be providing an update on the Council’s recent discussion on the Downtown Active Ground Floor use policy, answer questions and hear any initial input in advance of this going before the Planning Commission on July 28. She is also looking for input/comments on the Downtown Pop-Ups on Main Stret as far as timing to transition out of the temporary program and if it would be appropriate to consider developing a longer-term/more formal parklet program.

This meeting will be held in a hybrid format. Attend in person: 777 Peters Avenue, Pleasanton or attend virtually:
