QUESTION: What grand Carol Stream Chamber event will be held at Klein Creek Golf Club on July 15, 2015?

ANSWER: The 26th annual Carol Stream Chamber "Golf Classic"!!

What better way to begin preparation than to hear speaker Betsy Voyles at our February 11th luncheon talk about Golf and Health....Health and Golf. Details and registration here...
WOMEN IN BUSINESS NEWS 
The Women In Business events that are coming up start with a February 25th luncheon where Victoria Cook will share "How to Attract More Clients with 3 Magic Bullets of Marketing" at Windsor Park. It's a good idea to plan ahead, too, for the always popular April 29th "Tables of Interest" -- a multi-chamber progressive luncheon where you choose tables by YOUR interests, immediately bonding with others at your table. For those planning their budgets or long-term events, September 25th will be the date for the "What Women Want" Expo!
BEFORE HOURS EVENT

Chamber members gathered on February 2nd for Networking in the Morning at the Holiday Inn & Suites inside Alberto's. Those in attendance were able to really learn what the others' do in their businesses and what a good lead for them is. We thank Holiday Inn & Suites and Alberto's for hosting us!

The next Networking in the Morning will be Tuesday, April 7th from 7:30am-9am. If you would like to host the April event or another in the future, just let us know.

FIVE STAR BUSINESS & HEALTH EXPO - FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6TH 
Join us at the 19th annual Five Star Expo this Friday, February 6, 2015 from 10am until 3pm at Medinah Shrine Center. No need to sign up....but don't forget business cards!

Visit the Five Star!

MULTI-CHAMBER LUNCHEON @ BOBAK'S MARCH 26th 
Save the date for the March 26th luncheon where we can fit up to 600 attendees from 19 chambers. Let us know today if you would like one of the limited number of Expo Table Tops for this event.

AFTER HOURS AT JOE COTTON FORD MOVED TO JUNE 16th 

If a no-cost networking opportunity with food and friendly faces is a good fit for you, our Business After Hours is just right.

 

Due to weather-related delays in renovation, the February 19th After Hours at Joe Cotton Ford will be rescheduled for June 16th. Several of you noticed some changes over the past week and called us to ask. We can't wait to see all the new signs and decor!
