Chamber News from the President
Dear Bloomingdale Chamber Members:
Our Annual Golf Classic was held last Thursday, July 12 at the Bloomingdale Golf Club. Everyone had a great time and we were blessed with perfect weather. Thanks to all of our sponsors, golf committee members, volunteers and golfers for making the event a great success. Thanks also to Don Helmig of Catering with Elegance and his staff for the great lunch and dinner. Pictures from the event can be viewed at the end of the newsletter.
Bloomingdale Area Women in Business will host an educational seminar, Personal Branding~What Does it Mean and Why Does it Matter, on July 24 at 7:30 AM. All of us are projecting our "brand" at all times whether we are aware of it or not. If we understand that, we can have greater control of the message that we're sending to other people. The seminar will be presented by Toby Nathan, Talent Acquisition Consultant at RecruitaStar. Men are always welcome at BAWIB seminars.
I hope you are all enjoying the more relaxed pace that summer brings.
For more information and to register for all Chamber events, go to www.bloomingdalechamber.com.
Best regards,
Jane |

First Bank & Trust Senior VP Jeoffry Hayden was featured in a Daily Herald article about the June 25 Western DuPage Special Recreation Association Charlie Long/WDSRA Golf Outing. Jeff has been a long-term volunteer at WDSRA and states "I revel in the excitement of the golf outing and enjoy the camaraderie of a large crowd coming together for a great cause. Most importantly, I participate to support the WDSRA mission. Through athletics, social activities and day trips, WDSRA gives its participants the power to overcome their daily challenges with wonderful experiences."
David Litt, Founder and CEO of Blue Star Tec LLC was also featured in the Daily Herald. He was featured in the June 25 "Monday Morning Conversation" section of the Business section.
