To our devotees who missed this week's Monday Matters (we were/are recovering from four fabulous days at Cream of Wheaton), we present this Thursday Update to share news that just can't wait until next week. Read more about next week's luncheon and a round-up of Cream of Wheaton... see you again on Monday.

"Good Mental Health is

Good for Business"

Next week's Wheaton Chamber monthly luncheon is one you won't want to miss. Geri Kerger, executive director of NAMI DuPage, and Margo McCollister, LPCP, NCC, of Wheaton Wellness Center, Inc., will talk about importance of good mental health in the workplace. Employers, employees and entrepreneurs will all benefit from hearing how practices for good mental health care help with productivity, morale and profitability.

Register now and bring a colleague, client or friend--Chamber luncheons are a great way to network and show your love to the businesses who support your business.

Well, another Cream of Wheaton has come and gone, leaving us with waves of nostalgia, deep appreciation for all our Business Expo sponsors, volunteers and sponsors, and a little bit of powdered sugar from all that funnel cake.

The event, held June 2 through June 5 in Memorial Park, took a village to prepare. The Wheaton Park District leads the pack in planning, preparation and hosting in the beautifully renovated park. We are forever grateful to them for their partnership. Our Wheaton Chamber volunteers showed up en masse and helped with tickets, information and above all, pouring beer! The Business Expo lined the park sidewalks and those who participated reported happy results. Here are some photos with a shout-out to the following volunteer groups:

We have more acknowledging to do, but for now, here are some photos from Cream of Wheaton for your enjoyment. Thanks to ALL!
