Mugshots and Martinis

 

Join Carbon County Women in Business at the Mug Shots and Martinis mixer at FLOW Bar + Restaurant in Jim Thorpe. It's a new year and time to let your inner "Mover and Shaker" come out. Get your new profile picture taken by a professional photographer, enjoy half price appetizer specials, and, of course, martinis while networking with other women in business in Carbon County.

 

FLOW is a destination restaurant located in a circa 1800's stone factory with an underground stream visible from the dining room. There's plenty of parking at 268 W. Broadway, Jim Thorpe. Bring your business card for a door prize!

 

 

 

 

903 Network Meetings 3rd Wednesdays

 

Come and network with other business owners who are just as serious as you are about getting results.  We turn networking up to the next level by using a very effective method of brainstorming and passing leads.

 

Perhaps you have a situation to deal with and would like input from other business owners?  If you wish, you may elect to use this meeting as a roundtable to present a business-related dilemma that you might have. 

 
Please RSVP by the day of the meeting at 5pm so we can make sure we have enough seating.  Bring paper, pen and plenty of business cards.  To reserve your seat, please call Kelly at 570-722-8800 or Keri at 570-977-3445.

 
 

We meet the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 7:00 pm at:

Kettle Hill Building
1578 State Route 903
2nd Floor Conference Room
Jim Thorpe, PA
 
Let's all support our local economy by working with fellow business owners.

Jim Thorpe WinterFest February 19 and 20 

 

There have been many additions and improvements to this growing festival. We've added wood carving to the festivities, so when ice carving is happening downtown the wood carving will be at the Opera House - and vice versa. Both are exciting shows to see!

 

We have 27 participants so far in the Jim Thorpe Mug Walk. This has really become a popular event that can help draw people into your business. It also helped us raise very significant revenue last year. This year, we're featuring color mugs! This Sunday is the deadline for participating. For information, contact Michael Guy at Rainbows End, 325-9150.

 

You may still participate as a sponsor of WinterFest. Your contribution is greatly appreciated and allows us to improve and grow the event. Your business will be listed on the sponsor page with a link back to your website, and will also be listed on the sponsor boards in town. This Sunday is the deadline to be able to appear on the sponsor boards.

 

For the kids there will be pinata busting at noon both days at the train station. There will be quality entertainment both days at the Opera House. For a full listing and schedule of events visit your Chamber website at www.JimThorpe.org.
