This Week at the San Marcos
Chamber of Commerce

Dear Member,

 

Tomorrow you have two chances to dine with the Chamber.  At 7:15 am you can join us for our networking breakfast at the Broken Yolk and hear Jeff Frank, the former columnist with the North County Times.  Jeff's columns were always funny and diverse and showed his ability to develop a network of people throughout North County who would feed him stories.  The networking group meeting includes breakfast, $10 for Chamber members and $15 for non members.

 

Then for lunch, you can join the Chamber as we listen to Mayor Desmond's "State of the City" address at 11:30 am..  With Redevelopment gone and a new City Manger coming, there are plenty of issues for the Mayor to discuss..  Tickets are still available, call the Chamber office at (760) 744-1270.  Lunch catered by San Marcos Deli is $25.00

 

A big thank you to our sponsors for the making this and so many other Chamber events possible.  They include EDCO, SDG&E, Hunter Industries, Cal State University, San Marcos, Corky's Pest Control, Markstein Beverages and Tri City Medical Center.

 

See you there,

 

Andy Phemister
