Chamber Advantage

Happy February!

Bite Nite was a blast – thank you to everyone who came out, and to our vendors and sponsors who made it happen. We'll share some pics from the evening soon, so keep an eye out if you smiled for a camera! (And if you're still thinking about that one bite, you're not alone.)

But we're not slowing down. In this issue, we're getting the ball rolling for the 10th Annual Community Health & Wellness fair (April 19th!), welcoming some new faces to the Chamber, and keeping you up to date on what's coming up.

Let's get into it.

STILL BUZZING FROM BITE NITE?

We've got another one for you. The 10th Annual Community Health & Wellness Fair is coming April 19th. We'd love to see some familiar faces there.

Presented by Rush Oak Park Hospital and organized by the Chamber, this is one of the western suburbs' biggest health and wellness events. Head to FFC Oak Park to connect with 70+ exhibitors offering complimentary screenings, wellness consultations, and resources you can actually use. Bring the whole family — there will be activities for kids, healthy snacks, and other goodies!

Health & Wellness Members: Now's the time to start planning. If you're interested in setting up a table, we'd love to have you. We've been doing this for 10 years, but if this is your first time, don't sweat it — reach out and we're happy to walk you through it.

Interested in Sponsoring? We'd be more than grateful for your support and will make sure you get the recognition you deserve. More details coming soon, but if you'd like to get the ball rolling, reach out!

For questions about vending or sponsorship, contact Julian Sanchez, our Events and Engagement Manager.

WELCOME TO THE CHAMBER!

One of our favorite parts of this work is meeting the businesses that make Oak Park and River Forest what they are. To our newest members — we're so glad you're here. We can't wait to get to know you, learn more about what you do, and help you find your people in this community.

New Members:

If you see a name you recognize (or one you don't), say hello. And to our new members — we hope to see you at the next New Member Breakfast. It's a great chance to put some faces to names and get connected.

That’s it for this week—thanks for reading and for helping our business community thrive together.
