On November 6th, five chambers will be lunching together, networking and hearing the latest on the Healthcare Reform. Those in attendance will be members of the Carol Stream, Glendale Heights, Villa Park, Addison, and Bloomingdale chambers.

Each month, the chamber plans a Business After Hours for you. The purpose is to meet other members, and have it held at one of our member facilities. Not only does this 'mix it up' but it gives you the opportunity to get inside other businesses and see just how they do things. There are always refreshments as well as networking.
Our next After Hours will be held on Thursday, November 21 at Klein Creek Golf Club in Winfield. This casual event runs from 5:30pm to 7:30pm, there is no fee, and members come and go as they are able. Don't think that they skip out on the networking, because they do not; many business cards are passed and introductions made. An After Hours is a great chance to bring other staff from your business, since it's free, and it gives greater visibility to you. Sign up for the November 21st After Hours by visiting this link.
