The Bloomingdale Chamber is gathering with us for the October 15th After Hours.

It will be held at Stratford Square Mall from 5:30-7:30pm. There will be some of the usual networking but what will be UNUSUAL at this is a Scavenger Hunt around the Mall. Think of it as a Team-building exercise. Details on the meeting point will be shared soon.

Dear Chamber Members,

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.
BEFORE HOURS - OCTOBER 6th
Every other month we "mix up" our usual offering of luncheon and After Hour events with the AM version - Networking in the Morning. This seems to appeal to some who aren't able to attend our luncheons. 

Even if you do get a chance to come to our other events, please plan on stopping by Olympia Chiropractic on Tuesday, October 6th at 7:30am. You'll be able to be out the door before 9:00 with some new or strengthened business relationships accomplished. Register here...

MONTHLY LUNCHEON IS PROGRESSIVE
 
Grab a stack of your brochures and sign up for the October 7th Multi-Chamber luncheon at Bloomingdale Golf Club. Please note the date change from what would have been the 14th.

The program will be a Progressive lunch where you meet three tables full of business professionals as you enjoy your meal. Joining us will be the Bloomingdale, Glendale Heights, and Addison chambers. 

We do prefer you sign up ASAP, due to the nature of the set up and complexity of table numbers. The deadline should be Friday at 5pm, but if you let me know Tuesday morning, we should be able to get you in. We won't be able to accommodate walk-ins however, so sign up today at this link...

BENEFIT OF CHAMBER MEMBERSHIP
As we mentioned last month, we have a new program called  
At each chamber event -- After Hours, Networking in the Morning, Ribbon Cutting --we will collect business cards and draw one. We'll take a photo of the winner and post it on the chamber Facebook page (which pushes to the chamber Twitter account). We will put their contact info from Chamber Master along with a company description in the next Constant Contact newsletter. 

Newsletter Spotlight... bringing more visibility to our member businesses.
