Wine Tasting at The City Grille
The Wine tasting and dinner last Saturday night at the San Pedro Golf Course City Grille went well. 3 differant local wineries came, Around 50 people, mostly couples, or adult family units, were there, and it was a very nice evening. A very big "Thank You" to the Wineries:
Bodega, Zarpara, and Pillsbury, who are all local Willcox wineries.
There were quite a number of wonderful door prizes donated, and we would really like to thank our door prize sponsors:
Benson Feed & Supply, The Shop/ Derrick Rogers, Galleano's, 86 Cafe, Wild Dogs,
G & F Pizza, Keasts Computer World, Tractor Supply, Pawlished Pup, Quarles Art Gallery, Junction Express, Cowboy Way, and Old Benson Ice Cream Stop.
This event was sponsored and organized as a multi purpose event. Sponsors were: Southeast Arizona Economic Development Group had the idea to do a Winter Visitor Appreciation Day, to thank our Winter Visitors for coming to Benson, Elicia, at The City of Benson owned "City Grille", liked the idea, and wanted to do something in conjunction with advertising that the Grille is open now for evening dinners, and the Chamber of Commerce, of course, helps with anything that supports commerce and economic growth in the area. A very big shout out goes to Elicia at The City Grille, for the wonderful job she did organizing her part of this event. Neither she nor Debi had any prior experience doing a wine tasting, but between them, it turned out to be a very nice evening, and gave the residents a nice "date night" opportunity, with potential at offering other opportunities in the area, for the future.

Chamber Breakfasts at Galleano's
I would like to remind everyone about the Chamber's monthy breakfasts. It is a great time to introduce yourself to other members, network, let everyone know what you have going on, find out what all is going on with other business members, and various promotions, what is going on in the political arena, Sometimes there are guest speakers.All of our members are always welcome, and are encouraged to come! It is a great way to meet other members. People will always do business with other people they know, and like, first. It is a great way to offer member 2 member discounts as well, and establish member 2 member referrals. Mark your calendars for every third Thursday at 7 a.m.!
