A Letter from the ED

Dear Members and Friends,

I hope that this email finds you all well.  I have a couple of announcements to make. 

First of all, please note that the Chamber has moved.  We are now located at 314 South Street, Ste 100, Waukesha, WI 53186 (it is just a block away from our old location at 251 Broadway in Downtown Waukesha).  We also have a new phone number - 262-885-CWCC (2922).  

Second, I wanted to let you all know that I will be going out on maternity leave in the next week or so and plan to be out until June 1st.  Only the event programming in early May has been affected by my planned absence (sorry!).  The Women's Networking Group and the Young Professionals Group will be meeting as usual in the later half of the month.  

Upon my return in June, we will be back with a full line up of networking events you won't want to miss including: A Coffee with the Common Council featuring Mayor Shawn Reilly on June 14th at 9 AM and a Networking After 5 event at La Estacion on June 28th at 5:30 PM. 

Finally, we are starting to plan our annual fall events - mini-golf tournament, annual dinner and the Christmas parade - and we have plenty of sponsorship opportunities available.  For more information about sponsorship, please click here or reach out to me directly. I am more than happy to discuss the opportunities in depth with you.

As always, please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any additional questions or concerns.  Have a lovely month of May and I will be back in June. 

Cheers,
Katie
