JOIN OTHER NETWORKING BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS! Members of Women's Groups from all over will get together for this Progressive Luncheon with a POLKA DOT theme.

Please extend a warm welcome to the new Office Manager for the Bloomingdale Chamber.  Stephanie Grady joined us on October 29 and will be replacing Marianne McKeown, who took a position with the Village of Bloomingdale.  Stephanie, a native of Wheaton, IL, comes to the Chamber with a foundation in Theater Arts from Illinois Wesleyan University and a more recent background in Tourism. For the past four years she managed Group Sales and Events at John Hancock Observatory in Chicago. Stephanie volunteers with the Drama Therapy Association Erasing the Distance and spends her Saturdays teaching middle school students how to act and collaborate. She looks forward to getting to know the town and members of the BCC!
