The staff and board of directors of the United Regional Chamber of Commerce wish all of our members and their families a wonderful holiday season filled with lasting memories and ear-to-ear smiles. As our President/CEO Jack Lank always says, "Happy, Happy, Merry, Merry."

And since we also want to spend some time with our family and friends, we will be closing at noon on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. We will be open on Monday, Thursday, and Friday both weeks at our regular schedule.

Let's enjoy the season and be poised to reach our business goals in the new decade.
Ribbon Cutting Red
Join Us as We Welcome New Member Bandidos This Wednesday

Ribbon Cutting and Grand Opening
Bandidos Mexican Restaurant
59 Park Street
Attleboro
Wednesday, December 18
4:00 PM.

We'll be cutting the ribbon this Wednesday at the new Mexican restaurant Bandidos that just opened in Attleboro center. They had a soft opening two weeks ago and we can say that we highly recommend the Camarones Bandidos. Camarones are shrimp BTW.

They've had a packed restaurant every night for the past two weeks and there's a reason or two for their success. The food is great, the staff is inviting, and the margaritas, well they're margaritas and that's a good thing.

It isn't surprising that Bandidos is so fabulous because this is the owners' second restaurant.They know what they are doing.The first Bandidos is in Cumberland, Rhode Island. Their vision is very simple: Serve authentic Mexican food with a smile and make everyone feel like they are at home.

So, 4:00 this Wednesday. Amigos, we hope you'll join us. We know you won't be disappointed.

Bandidos, you're a welcome addition to the URCC community.

We Met at SuperCharged Entertainment
Last Week
It Was Cold Outside, but Warm Inside

Route 1
Wrentham

Last Wednesday was a snowy day, but we brought the warmth to SuperCharged Entertainment in Wrentham. Our young professionals met and they filled a table with gloves, hats, mittens, and scarves for the Love Life Now Foundation .

Founder President Lovern Gordon explained to the group that the Love Life Now Foundation works year round through several events and initiatives to move domestic abuse victims from survive to thrive. And that's quite a task since many victims feel like they don't deserve help. So many victims feel that the abuse is actually their fault.

Corey Phinney, Executive Sales Manager of SuperCharged Entertainment also addressed the group, talking about his involvement with the Love Life Now Foundation.

If you haven't been to SuperCharged Entertainment, it has a "wow" factor that can't be beat. The 25,000 square foot facility in Wrentham offers something for everyone with the world’s largest indoor multi-level karting track, first-of-its-kind Ninja Wipeout course, fun jumping Trampolines, and an expansive gaming lounge. They host parties for kids, adults, corporate staff, and bachelor/bachelorettes.
