Member Testimonial 
"The Sounds of the Southwest Singers are very happy to be part of the Glendale Chamber of Commerce. We value our relationship in so many ways, but one thing we enjoy most is coming to First Friday events at Cuff Restaurant. We enjoy coming in early with the sunrise to meet and greet who we feel are some of the movers and shakers in the Glendale area. We've enjoyed taking part in many First Fridays since we joined the Chamber, including back in December when we provided the entertainment with many members of our choir singing Christmas carols. This was very enjoyable to all and just a part of what Glendale AZ and the Chamber is all about. We value our relationship with other businesses in Glendale and we're very happy to have that opportunity to rub elbows with them. The breakfast and coffee is an added bonus!!!"

Member Testimonial 
"The Hike 'N' Learn event was in my biased opinion the best networking event I've attended. Instead of sitting around a table giving ourselves diabetes, we were out in the beautiful world getting healthier, smarter and better connected all at the same time. Jaro is a wonderful guide and a great mind and he really made the event special. It seemed like being out there gave us more freedom to talk and helped bring out more creative ideas. More business should be conducted outdoors for the good of our bodies and for our business."
