CHAMBER DIRECTORY UPDATE

The directory is going to press. June 6th is the deadline for any ad sales. If you haven't already heard, 1,700 are going to be included in the Daily  Herald to subscribers and 1,300 will be direct mailed to businesses in Carol Stream. This leaves an additional 3,000 to go out to businesses and individuals through the library, chamber office, village hall, and local businesses. We hope you updated your info as requested. The finished directories will be available after July 19th!

 

For more information on advertising in the directory BEFORE JUNE 6th, contact Mark Solak at 847.687.2816 or msolak@dailyherald.com

 JUNE 11th LUNCHEON


Our next luncheon is an exciting one, "Pitch Your Business". This is the opportunity to be more VISIBLE as you make your 45 second "pitch" memorable.

It's summertime (finally!), it's the Chicagoland area, it's baseball season! Batter up ---or really it should say Pitcherrrr up!

You will help designate an All-Star pitcher as you cast your vote for all who pitched.

Usually we start our meetings with the Pledge of Allegiance but on Wednesday June 11th, Lena Marshall of Lena Lee Photography will sign our National Anthem. Yes, there will be line-ups and even peanuts! Join us, will you? Register here...
25th GOLF OUTING  

The Golf Outing mailing is going out "as we speak" and you should be receiving it soon. If you would like to register ONLINE, click here.

 

July 17th we will celebrate the Silver/25th anniversary outing at Klein Creek Golf Club in Winfield. 

 

How can you be a part of this huge event? Sponsor. Golf. Donate. Volunteer. Come for dinner.

 

Did you hear about the $5,000 MoneyPutt? One lucky golfer will be chosen to try to sink a 50 yard putt. Could it be you? 

 

Diamond and Ruby sponsors will see their logo displayed on an awesome new foil-type CONCRETE Graphic right there on the sidewalk!

 

Buy a ticket through the chamber office and try to win a new Samsung Galaxy Tablet! Help us make this chamber fundraising event a success!  

AFTER HOURS JUNE 18th  

 

Summertime is a great time to get together in the early evening for a Business After Hours. We will get to gather at Rosie O'Reilly's on Gary just south of Jewell Road in Wheaton on Wednesday, June 18th from 5:30-7:30pm. During the summer months, we'll be holding our After Hours on Wednesday's so as not to interfere with the Thursday night Concert Series held at the Town Center in Carol Stream. 

 

Since it's a free event, this could be the perfect chance to bring a few friends or co-workers. Sign up here and plan to attend.
