Great turnout for the first in-person mixer

Porky's Pizza Palace is a family-owned, neighborhood pizza parlor established in 1963. Specializing in great authentic hand tossed pizza with an amazing amount of fresh toppings. Also serving fresh, plump, juicy fried chicken and pasta with mom's homemade meat sauce. Served in a family friendly atmosphere with patio dining. Local craft beers, wine and cocktails, full bar.
Porky's and the Valenziano family hosted the Chamber's first in-person networking mixer in more than a year last week as they opened their patio to all Chamber members for the July mixer.

75th anniversary for the Chamber

The Pleasanton Chamber of Commerce, one of the most engaging and successful chambers in the Bay Area, is celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2021, and will be commemorating the occasion with a variety of captivating stories, news articles, and reflections from community leaders.

Frank Capilla recalled a significant time where “the chamber was flat broke, no money.” Over lunch at LaRochelle’s restaurant in 1979, Wells Fargo agreed to loan $7,000 to the chamber, thanks to the efforts of Larry Lindsey and Jim Barri.
"We hired Debra Strong, and when she came on board, she really took us to the next step. And that’s when we really started to be an official Chamber of Commerce. Joe Callahan said if you’re going to do business at Hacienda, we want you to belong to the chamber. We just really started to take off."
-Frank Capilla, 1984 board chair

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.
In case you missed it last week, you can watch the Pleasanton 2025 Forum for July here. Our guest speaker was Ellen Clark, Director, Community Development for the City of Pleasanton. Ellen provided an update on the Council’s recent discussion on the Downtown Active Ground Floor use policy, and also spoke on the Downtown Pop-Ups on Main Street 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.
