New & Notable
New Members

We want to offer a big welcome to our new members that joined in July; we look forward to working with you!

Marinade on Main will host our next networking mixer on Thursday, August 18! As usual, we will have food, beverages, networking, opportunity drawings, and FUN!

If you would like to attend, please RSVP to Laura Leeman at rccstaff@ramonachamber.com.

Attending a mixer is a great opportunity to get exposure for your business. Chamber directors, staff, Ambassadors, and members get to know you better, enjoy a positive experience with you, and will think of you more often when asked for recommendations. And donating to our opportunity drawings is a great way to advertise your business!
We are including the following information weekly to ensure that new members are aware of these opportunities:
