 Just in time for Valentine's Day, you can "Meet Your Match" at the Chamber's next Business After Hours, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 11 at DeVry University Center at Polaris, 8800 Lyra Drive - Suite

A SPECIAL "MEET YOUR MATCH" TREAT: Bring your Valentine or a Chamber member prospect. For each paid guest you bring to the BAH (at the customary $20 guest fee), the Chamber will MATCH your investment with an additional guest pass that you may use immediately or any time within 2010. (Bring two guests to Thursday's event and pay for one, or bring one and leave with a guest pass certificate to be used at a later time. Remember, for any guest who joins the Chamber within a year, the guest fee is refunded by being applied to membership dues.) Pre-registration is strongly recommended -- and will allow us to welcome your guests with preprinted name tags.
 Sweet Laurie's Old Tyme Photo will provide part of the fun, allowing you to pose in their Photo Booth with your Valentine or your newest business connection.
