After Hours at Brian's Charhouse November 20th
Looking for an affordable way to get more visibility and network?
Come out to the Business After Hours in November at Brian's Charhouse on Nov. 20th. Brian's is located at 27 W 371 North Avenue in West Chicago, at Morton Road. This chamber event is free, so you can't go wrong.
Do you have a busy schedule? The beauty of the After Hours concept is that you can visit one of our member's place of business and network with other business professionals any or all of the two hour period between 5:30-7:30pm.
Let us know if you will be attending and don't forget your business cards. |
HOLIDAY COMEDY SOCIAL DEC. 5th! There may be snowflakes and icicles outside but at the Chamber annual Holiday Comedy Social on Friday, December 5th, there will be lots of warm networking! Kev Sevara will be the LIVE! comedian as we hold this event at the Holiday Inn beginning at 5:30. New this year, an enhanced dinner BUFFET! We'll have the Silent Auction so you can Holiday Shop while supporting the chamber, too. All this AND our favorite LIVE DJ/Karaoke King, Perry Johnson/Echo Entertainment in the very same room until 11:30pm!
We hope you'll consider: being a sponsor, donating a silent auction item (gift basket, electronics, gift certificates, etc.) and/or volunteer. It will be a great night of socializing and networking, while being entertained, too.
RSVP today....click here for the sponsor listing and RSVP form. |
SHOP THE CHAMBER..for the Holidays!
Each year we encourage you and other community members to SHOP THE CHAMBER for all the holiday needs.
There are so many purchases around the holiday season - from getting the house ready for company to making or ordering meals to getting that perfect gift for the family or friends. We hope you'll consider what our chamber members offer FIRST when you start your shopping.
What do YOU have to offer for the upcoming shopping season? We will once again solicit your item suggestions and put them on a website and a flyer for the December newsletter.
If you would like me to put your company name and an item or service that someone might purchase from you as a holiday gift, email me and I'll post it on the website. We are encouraging folks, members and community people, to shop the chamber first for their holiday shopping needs. | |
Women In Business
The November 3rd Women In Business Tea was enjoyed by all who attended. It was an absolutely BEAUTIFUL, sunny day at the Historic Farmhouse. Click here for a recap and photos.
The next WIB event will be on Wednesday, January 21st at Vangelo's Town Center Grille from 11:30-1pm. Our speaker will be Cathy Leman who will talk about eating healthy and working healthy. Updates are on the WIB web page. |
