Networking Event 

Each month the Chamber hosts an informal networking event over coffee. The goal of this event is to allow our members the opportunity to meet other members, promote their business, and grow their network. Be sure to BRING your business cards, brochures & any other information with you. There will be a table set up so that you can place your information on. This is a good way for someone to take your information with them, if for some reason they do not get to visit with you during the meeting.
