The holiday spirit was in the air as our

Park Ridge Chamber of Commerce members came together to celebrate a successful 2024 and share excitement for the opportunities ahead in 2025.

A heartfelt thank you to Summit of Uptown for graciously hosting the event and providing fantastic entertainment.

It was truly a memorable and delightful evening!

A new chapter for the Park Ridge Chamber of Commerce

Women in Business has begun! Dyanamic Co-Chairs Tania Forte and

Erin Stojakovic planned a fantastic event to close out 2024. A Holiday Tea was hosted at TeaLula ...showcasing a local, woman-owned business.

Amidst the stunning holiday decor, guests enjoyed an authentic high tea service. The exquisite menu was prepared by Chef Jeff Scialabba.

Sheila Duda, owner, and her team, hosted those who attended with grace and hospitality. Guests were provided time to network and enjoy each other's company with longtime friends and new acquaintances.

Gorgeous gift bags were provided for each guest by Beautifully New.

And Maine Township Highway Commissioner Ed Beauvais, stopped in to surprise our guests by hosting a drawing for a TeaLula gift basket and gift card. It was a truly wonderful event ... that was sold out

two weeks prior to the gathering.

We are looking forward to an outstanding lineup of Women in Business events in 2025! And we invite you to visit TeaLula for a spectacular

high tea experience right here in Park Ridge!
