PROGRESSIVE LUNCHEON 1/21/15 
No, the arrows in this case do not represent Recycling -- these arrows indicate the "cycling" or "progression" of attendees at the January 21st Multi-chamber Progressive Luncheon.

Held at Medinah Shrine Center in Addison, this event will involve the Addison, Bartlett, Bloomingdale, Carol Stream, Glendale Heights and Roselle Chambers.

Because of the nature and complexity of the progression, walk-ins will not be accommodated, so remember to sign up early...why not today? Click here to sign up...
SEMINAR:  "TRAIN YOUR BRAIN" 1/22 
Your Brain is the single biggest driver of your energy, your focus, and the results you get in every area of life.  Your career, your finances, your physical health, your relationships- all of them are constantly created and influenced by your thinking. Unfortunately, your brain didn't come with an owner's manual...until now. 

 

In "Train Your Brain For Success", you will learn to harness the incredible creative capacity of your mind and achieve your personal best - professionally, financially and personally. Best part? You'll do this in about the time it takes to go out for lunch.

 

The presentation is by Robb Zbierski from Freedom Personal Development. Robb has trained business professionals from all walks of life, on personal development skills that make a difference in both their professional and personal lives. In this program, Robb will show us how to use our minds effectively to achieve a personal best-at work and in our lives.

 

Register here for the January 22nd (10am-11:30am) seminar at COD/Carol Stream... 

FUN AT THE HOLIDAY SOCIAL
Early December was the annual Chamber Holiday Social. We thank our sponsors, donors, volunteers, purchasers, and attendees!! If you missed it, or even if you were there, you might enjoy this short video recap.
WOMEN IN BUSINESS NEWS 
Did you get a new calendar under the tree this year? What?? You don't use paper calendars?

Whatever your choice of "planner" is, you can fill the Women In Business events for all of 2015 already. The committee has been working hard to get all the details together for these events and you can find them all at this link.

Our next luncheon will be held Wednesday, January 28th, at 11:30am at John & Tony's. Our speaker will be Robert O'Dell and his topic is the "Generational Divide". If you would like to participate in the philanthropy, you can bring non-perishable food items, books or art supplies for People's Resource Center. Sign up here.

We hope you enjoy your New Year of WIB events!

FIVE STAR EXPO FEBRUARY 6TH 
During the year, the Carol Stream Chamber offers you opportunities to meet other business professionals and spread the word about who you are and what you do. One of the premier events of the year is the Five Star Business & Health Expo held February 6th at Medinah Shrine Center in Addison. Four other chambers join our efforts to bring this event to you -- Addison, Bartlett, Bloomingdale and Glendale Heights Chamber -- and make it happen.

You can choose one of five options to publicize your business: Super Star Sponsor, Expo Sponsor, Food Sponsor, Exhibitor, or Insert Sponsor.

There will be a beautiful room teeming with exhibitors, giveaways, and energy. Again this year, we will offer the Health Stage at which wellness topics will be presented. 

You cannot go wrong when you take time out of your day to visit -- FREE Parking, FREE Food Samples, FREE Admission, Giveaways -- there will also be a Blood Drive at the event.

For details on pricing and more, click here for the website which includes the Exhibitor Agreement.

And we hope you'll consider joining at the AFTER HOURS KICK-OFF on January 29th at 5:30pm, held at Medinah Shrine Center. Sign up for the After Hours at this link.
