Chairman's Corner

I hope everyone is enjoying the Summer. It is a great time to spend time with family, take vacation and hopefully, recharge your batteries for the rest of the year.
 
When was the last time you were able to make it out to the Chamber's Monthly Luncheon? If it has been awhile, please try to take advantage of this ongoing opportunity to meet other Chamber and Community members. This month's luncheon is Wednesday July 21st at the Ruthe Jackson Center. It only costs $15 and for that, you get lunch, a great monthly speaker or program and the invaluable opportunity to market yourself or your business. I have been introduced to some amazing opportunities and people over the years at the luncheons and encourage you to utilize this recurring event.
 
I'd also like to invite you to the Chamber's monthly after-hours event. This month's is very special as it is our 2nd Annual Striking Up Business at Forum Bowl on Thursday July 22nd. This is a lot of fun and is a cost efficient way to pitch your business to other Chamber members while being able to win some prizes bowling! Please call the Chamber and ask of ways you can get involved.
 
And as always, keep up to date with what's going on in the Chamber and Community by visiting our website www.grandprairiechamber.org or call the chamber at 972-264-1558.
