Message from the President
I would like to thank Waste Management, the Presenting Sponsor for the Mayors Breakfast.  We truly appreciate their support of our Chamber and this wonderful event.  Additional sponsors of the Mayors Breakfast: The City of Palm Bay, Florida Institute of Technology, Health First Health Plans, Thrifty Specialty Produce and Meats, Hometown News, Savings Safari, BTI - Brevard Tobacco Initiative, Club 52, RIA - Recovery Insurance Adjusters, and Launch Federal Credit Union.

I would truly like to thank Debbie Buza and her lovely assistant Enie Windle for the fabulous cooking demonstration at Business Women of Brevard on Tuesday.  The food was amazing and everyone tried samples of each meal with key lime pie and brownies on a stick for dessert.  What a great way to start the morning. 

Join us next month on June 27 for Business Women of Brevard with Dr. Wanda Bonet-Gascot, Author and Educator, breakfast provided by Buena Vida Estates.
