Over 400 attendees will enjoy this holiday social event of the season, sampling tantalizing appetizers and their favorite holiday beverage while meeting with new Chamber members and reconnecting with old friends.

One of the many benefits of being a Chamber member is the opportunity to network member to member. Many business deals have transpired due to the opportunity to interact, exchange information and develop professional relationships.
