QUICK LINKS
DIRECTORY IN THE WORKS 
Each year, we work with our local partners to produce the annual "Business Resource Guide" or community directory. This year, Linda Dickson of the Daily Herald/Niche' Publications has already begun to contact many of you and set up appointments or answer questions on how to get visibility in the business community. To reach her directly, Linda's number is 630.765.2125. Here is an example --- last year's book, in the electronic version. Click here...
Dear Chamber Members, 
This monthly eNewsletter supplements our quarterly printed edition and is designed to keep you current with chamber events and opportunities. 
 
Touch your iPhones, fire up your tablets, or take out your day planner and enter these events. If you know someone who would benefit from our organization, feel free to forward this to them.
THANK YOU!
Membership renewals are either April or October. The April renewal invoices were sent out March 1st, due April 1st. THANK YOU FOR YOUR RENEWAL and your membership!!!
APRIL WILL BE ONE BUSY MONTH 

Chamber members are able to pick from 7 events during April, at which to network
and build their business!

As you can see below, we have 1 Ribbon cutting, a Before Hours, two luncheons, a Lunch and Learn and an After Hours. 

Why do we have SO many events? What's best for you?

Different members find different events better for them than others. Some are on a stricter budget and cannot spend as much. Others have availability only during the day and After Hours conflict with family time/obligations. We try to offer a mix of literally "morning, noon, and night" events where some of them have a registration cost and others are free of charge.

Author Bob Burg ("The Go-Giver") tells us that "All things being equal, people will do business with and
refer business to, those people they know, like and trust."  We try to create those opportunities, those chances....those events at which you can get to know people and deepen that business relationship.

So, on a month when our calendar shows many dates, keep in mind that we're trying to catch you at a good time...and give you a successful experience!    
RIBBON CUTTING
New chamber member, Countryside Animal Clinic at 565 E. St. Charles Road (Schmale and St. Charles) in Carol Stream has invited us to help them with a Ribbon Cutting. Thursday, April 2nd at 10:30am the ribbon will be cut for this business under new management. Join us for refreshments, networking, and celebration! Register here...
NETWORKING IN THE MORNING 4/7
One of our free events is the before hours gathering known as Networking in the Morning. Join us on Tuesday, April 7th at 7:30am for a quick 90 minutes of gathering, eating, introducing, and networking. Becky Greeley of Belmont Village always offers wonderful gatherings and this one can be registered at by CLICKING HERE...
WOMEN IN BUSINESS NEWS 
This month, the Women In Business offer an opportunity to meet and get to know more people than at a usual luncheon. A progressive luncheon affords you the chance to visit three different tables of networking professionals. This event, in particular, is about relationships and how to build and enhance them. Click here for more info on the April 29th "Tables of Interest" Luncheon at Glendale Lakes... 
LEARNING AT LUNCHTIME  
Brown Bag Lunch N' Learn
Eat while you learn, it's great use of your time! This is the strategy behind our Brown Bag Lunch N' Learn events. Our next one is April 22nd at COD/Carol Stream as professional referee Pat Bayers presents "Get Pumped With the Ump" and getting the job done. Click here to sign up!
AFTER HOURS ON APRIL 16TH WITH BLOOMINGDALE CHAMBER
