Join us for our May After Hours Mixer at The Boozy Barista (inside Perky Beans Coffee) in celebration of National Small Business Week.  Meet, mingle, and have fun!
Free for members!

What is Business After Hours?

Business After Hours is a social/networking event that gives you the chance to visit a host business and network with other Chamber members.  At Business After Hours you will have the chance to introduce yourself to other members, exchange business cards, make new business contacts, and enjoy refreshments.

Do I have to stay the whole time?
No, you can come and go as you please. This float in and out event offers networking opportunities to everyone no matter what their busy schedule is. Come at 4:00 and plan to stay for a half hour or come at 5:30 and stay just a few minutes. We understand that everyone has families and commitments to attend to, but, just a few minutes at a Business After Hours may mean a new business client for you.

Join us for an afternoon of food, drinks, and shopping all benefiting the over 1,500 seniors we serve through Meals on Wheels. This year we are hoping to raise $50,000.  Last year we were able to serve over 220,000 meals to seniors last year across the two counties. We humbly ask for your support to help us continue to serve our neighbors with no waitlist for service. We know you have many options when it comes to giving back, so we hope you'll consider sending a little love and attention toward our Meals on Wheels program. Meals on Wheels delivers hot, nutritious meals to isolated, homebound seniors 5 days a week. Friendly volunteers offer a kind smile and a wellness check to ensure our seniors are doing well. When you sponsor this event, you're helping us continue to carry out our mission through Meals on Wheels!  Call 512-763-1400 for more information about purchasing a ticket or table for 8, becoming a vendor, or a sponsor.
