NOVEMBER LUNCHEON

Our November 12th luncheon will also feature the Bloomingdale chamber joining us to hear popular LinkedIn personality, JD Gershbein. He will share strategies on Business Growth using Social Media. It will be held at the Holiday Inn & Suites and will be the final regular luncheon of 2014 so we hope you'll join us. More details and sign up if you click here.

AFTER HOURS @ FASTSIGNS

Our November 20th After Hours will bring us to FASTSIGNS and board director David Spaeth and staff. We will gather between 5:30 and 7:30pm at the business which is located on the south side of Geneva Road, just east of Schmale/Main Street in Wheaton.

There are advantages to the after hours gathering. One is that we are able to visit a member business and experience it, as well as meeting fellow members. It's a great opportunity to bring others from your company and multiply your exposure. Another advantage is that the after hours events are not a set "program" and can easily accommodate those who need to arrive late or leave early. Don't forget a nice stack of business cards and ...a smile. Thanks in advance to our friends at FASTSIGNS for hosting us! Sign up here.

POLKA DOT PROGRESSIVE

We end the WIB year with a full-on robust event on November 19, Polka Dot Progressive Luncheon - 11:00am registration. 11:30 start, held at the Holiday Inn-Carol Stream - Many chambers involved and last year over 215 attendees.
