The Shoppes at Chino Hills and Sponsors of the Chino Valley Chamber of Commerce Business Expo:
We want to give a HUGE thank you to The Shoppes at Chino Hills for giving us the opportunity to host our Business Expo at The Shoppes again this year. We love that you’re willing to partner with us and support the Chino Valley Business Community. The same goes for our sponsors at the Chino Valley Chamber of Commerce Business Expo this year:
New Lunch and Learn with the Chino Valley Chamber of Commerce:
A group of Chino Valley Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors wanted to host a monthly lunch networking event in collaboration with the Chino Valley Chamber of Commerce. Saundra Marie Ramirez, Raziel Arciga, Lynnette Goodenough and Anne Heisinger all helped in putting together our new monthly Lunch & Learn event. We had our first lunch on October 11 at Woodstone Pizzeria from 11:30am to 1pm. You’ll hear more about it in our next Chairman’s Message.
Our second will be at VITA Italian Bar & Grill on Thursday, November 8 from 11:30am to 1pm.
Our plan is to visit Chamber member restaurants for a meal and networking. Each restaurant will have an opportunity to educate our members about their restaurant and the Chamber will also educate our members on how to take advantage of all the benefits the Chino Valley Chamber of Commerce has to offer. Hope you’ll be able to join us.
September Recap:
We had a lot of fun in September including several Grand Opening and Ribbon Cuttings, a great mixer and a lot of activity on our social media accounts.
