The Fenton Chamber is bringing the connection closer to you with our monthly In Your Neighborhood events! Designed to meet members where they are, this program takes us on the road to local businesses throughout Fenton and surrounding communities—spotlighting our members and strengthening relationships along the way. Each month, we pop into a different “neighborhood” for breakfast, lunch, or after-hours networking at a Chamber member location. These relaxed, come-and-go gatherings make it easy to connect with Chamber staff, meet fellow members, and build relationships with nearby business owners you might not see at other events.

While all are welcome, we make a point to personally invite members and prospective members who live or work nearby—creating a welcoming, community-focused atmosphere that’s all about connection, visibility, and support. Come support a local business, grow your network, and be part of what makes our business community thrive… one neighborhood at a time!

The relationships we nurture shape the way we live, lead, and grow—and they matter now more than ever. At this month’s Women’s Group Luncheon, we’ll explore how to build and protect the kind of relationships that truly support and empower us. From trusted mentors and uplifting friends to professional allies and community connections, it’s time to take inventory of who’s in your corner—and how those connections fuel your personal and professional well-being. We’ll also discuss the concept of social wealth, as outlined in The 5 Types of Wealth by Shannon D. Simmons, and how surrounding yourself with the right people can have lasting ripple effects on every area of your life.

Whether you're a business owner, leader, or professional navigating the next phase of your career, this conversation is an opportunity to reflect, connect, and realign with the people who help you thrive. Join us for an engaging and insightful luncheon designed to inspire meaningful connections and support your continued growth—both personally and professionally.

Joel Hensley, Principal Planner, will provide an overview of STLCO 2050 and discuss how the plan establishes a long-term vision for St. Louis County while guiding the development of a sustainable, equitable, and fiscally responsible community. From transportation and land use to housing, workforce access, and infrastructure investment, STLCO 2050 serves as a framework for thoughtful, coordinated growth across St. Louis County. A defining feature of STLCO 2050 is its foundation in community input. Shaped by resident feedback, the plan reflects the priorities of those who live and work throughout the county. Joel will share how this collective vision was developed and how public engagement helped inform strategies that guide future growth and investment.

To achieve these outcomes, STLCO 2050 also confronts several critical challenges impacting the county today, including:

• Population stagnation
• Rising infrastructure costs and long-term maintenance burdens
• A job-skills mismatch, including a missing “middle” of available jobs
• Housing diversity and affordability challenges
• Social and environmental resilience

Workday done? This one’s for you.
