"We're On A Roll" - Progressive Luncheon February 8th |
|
Our members often say that some of their favorite
Chamber events are the Progressive or networking
luncheons. You will have the opportunity to
participate in one on Wednesday, February 8th at the
Holiday Inn in the ballroom. Beginning with 1/2 hour of
mingling and visiting mini-exhibitors at 11:30, this
luncheon will have a 'dicey' theme. You will be at
three different tables, before the lunch has ended,
rolling dice to determine where your next seat is.
Cost is $20/members and $25/visitors. The Winfield
Chamber will also be joining us. This is an
event you will want to be absolutely sure you
have business cards with you (and a lot of
them)!
As with all our events and especially
luncheons, RSVP in advance to the Chamber office by
email or by calling (630) 665-3325. Those in attendance
have the chance to be chosen as "Featured Business
of the Month".
Menu:Ceasar Salad, Italian
Rolls,Chicken Parmesan w/tricolor pasta & mixed
vegetables, Chocolate Cake for Dessert.

are wrapping up. In order to stay on target with the

this map will be a wonderful opportunity to get the
word out to the community, to other businesses and
to visitors to our area. New this
year is the online
access to the map with each advertiser's location
pinpointed on the map and opportunity to link to your
company website. Contact Barry Kenis @ Village
Profile if interested: 630.479.1526. This publication
will be a very attractive product and a valuable
marketing tool.
