FRIDAY ROUND-UP
Staff take-over edition!
Colleen is off today celebrating her daughter Elizabeth's graduation from college. And while the cat is away...
On Tuesday, May 4 we'll be hosting our second Beers With Your Peers event, this time at Palm City Brewing! This casual networking event runs from from 5:00-7:00PM. Thank you to Collins Vision for sponsoring.

$15 admission includes a complimentary drink. Cash bar following, and there will be food trucks available if you wish to purchase.

We hope you can pop in and have a drink on us - we're going to party like it's 2019!

4 weeks in and I'm still here! (In all seriousness, it's been a great month and I'm happy to be part of the Chamber team.)

Are you getting the most out of your Chamber membership?

Here's a quick overview of what we provide to our members:


  • Directory listing on our website (www.fortmyers.org)
  • Relevant programming and events that provide educational and/or social opportunities
  • Opportunities to participate in working committees to meet new contacts and expand circles
  • Customized referrals that provide personal contacts and introductions
  • Marketing opportunities to reach members and our network of followers
  • Opportunities to sponsor Chamber events and purchase advertising in emails and on our website
  • Distribution of marketing materials

If you're reading this and you're NOT a member of the Chamber, give me a call!

Debra and Andy are tough acts to follow, but I'll try...

We'd LOVE to see you on Tuesday night for Beers With Your Peers at Palm City Brewing! This is a low pressure, fun, opportunity to meet us in a casual atmosphere - perfect for people considering joining who have not yet taken the plunge into our Chamber pool. And, if you're already a member, come by to say hello and make some connections with your fellow members!

Lastly, we start our Virtual 5K on Wednesday, May 5, presented by Lee Health. This is the ultimate event for those who don't usually partake in such activities - like myself (I always joke that if you see me running, you better run too, because something's coming!) Walk or run 5K over 5 days. Tracking your 5K is on the honor system, and you get a super-cool t-shirt with our 5K logo on it, designed by Matt Connar at Boost Creative. $25 for adults, $15 for ages 12-18, free for kids under 12.  We've also got a special offer - $35 for your 5K registration and ticket to Beers With Your Peers.
