Chamber Coffees
The Chamber and Economic Development helps you network your business with the community through Chamber Coffees. Between 40 and 80 people attend the weekly Coffees at different business locations to discover what is unique and special about each business. It's one of the best ways to showcase your business, and it's an effective tool to generate word-of-mouth marketing about special products and services that set you apart from your competitors. The Chamber and Economic Development charges a small fee of $25 for each business hosting a Coffee. Click here to see the Chamber's coffee schedule for the upcoming months.
