FOUNDATION FUNDRAISER AT JERSEY MIKE'S
|
 Jersey Mike's in Bloomingdale has partnered with us to raise funds for the Carol Stream Chamber Foundation. It's a GREAT deal to get a 7" sub free for a $2 donation to the Foundation! Dates are September 23 & 24th between 10am and 9pm. You can use two coupons for two sandwiches if you have two people at the restaurant, and so on. See the coupon for all details and restrictions. You can also ask to add additional $ and you'll help us raise much-needed funds. We have the coupons you'll need and we will distribute them at upcoming chamber events. Stop by the office if you'd like one.
The funds raised by the Foundation are for students pursuing higher education, for educational programs in business, and charitable aid in the community.
Donations are tax-deductible according to the IRS tax code for this 501�3.

JOINT AFTER HOURS ON SEPTEMBER 17
|
The Bloomingdale Chamber is gathering with us for the September 17th After Hours.
It will be held at Hilton Chicago/Indian Lakes Resort from 5:30-7:30pm. The beauty of the after hours events is that there is no set program/schedule and there is no fee, so stop by for any or all of it, and bring an associate or two -- someone you think could benefit from some networking.

| WELCOME. ENGAGE. BUILD. | |
I know it's not a New Year, but I cannot help but say "Welcome Back!"
As the summer vacations end and some who have children returning to school find, it's a 'fresh' year. Maybe we aren't using new crayons anymore (didn't you love getting a new box??) but it's still time to take a fresh look at what your chamber offers you and ENGAGE anew.
We will offer a monthly luncheon (or two) which, in my opinion, is the best hour-and-a-half a month you can set aside at which to focus on building your business. Consider making a "recurring appointment" in your electronic calendar.
After Hours and Networking in the Morning are designed to reach those unable to get away from lunch OR those who can make luncheons but want an extra boost of visibility. No fee for these before and after hour events is 'levied' -- that's a plus, right?
The above events, coupled with Expos and extra opportunities sprinkled onto our calendar are all ways to put your business front and center....in front of fellow chamber members and visitors.
So....."Welcome Back!" ...and hope to see you soon!
