Tickets are $75 per person.

Many Spartanburg Area Chamber members are now enjoying the benefits of this new program. 

Here's how it works: 

• The ConnectForLunch program will put you in a group with two or three Chamber members.
• Four days before lunch you are given the bios for each person in your lunch group and they receive yours along with details on the location.
• ConnectForLunch makes the restaurant reservation at a Chamber member restaurant...all you have to do is show up on the lunch day.
• You'll have everyone's name and contact details in your private ConnectForLunch available online 24/7...no writing on the back of business cards!
