My mother is flying in for a quick visit this week for my son, Dirk’s, graduation party on Saturday. Deborah Oberschelp, Affordable Interiors, is at my house right now, redecorating, hanging rods and drapes – you should the beautiful job she’s done rearranging my furniture, artwork, and shelves! I can’t believe it’s all my stuff (she also packed away a lot of stuff so we can rotate it out later). Call Debbie at 312-909-1255 – you’ll love what she can do on a shoestring budget! I’m really pleased how she’s updated our look in the living/dining/powder rooms!
Last Wednesday was the Chamber’s July Networking Luncheon, which was held at Chamber member Carlucci Rosemont, 6111 N. River Road. What an incredible meal they made for us! 22 guests attended! Thank you to John Campagna and staff from hosting a wonderful event!
Our speaker, Steve Fretzin, spoke on Darwinism For Your Business-Surviving and Even Thriving in a Recession. He is also the creator of NetworkingMonkey.com where the Chamber lists all our events (and we’ve gotten several attendees and a few members from doing so.)
From Steve, after the lunch:
“After the Darwinism event there seemed to be some interest in the Business Building Boot Camp Steve is holding in September. We would like to extend the Business Building Boot camp 70% discount to all members of your chamber and anyone in your personal or business network you feel may benefit. Please notice that the registration URL on the flyer attached will take them to the full price registration form. To give out the 70% discount, go to this link: http://tinyurl.com/28r4pus.”
One more chance to hear Steve Black speak next week!
‘Would you like to double your business without working twice as hard?’
Did you know that the Chamber has 3 existing leads and referral networking groups: Park Ridge Executive Network 1, 2, and 3. They are included in your membership fees at no additional charge. Take advantage of your Chamber membership by joining one of the groups! They meet on different days (2nd Friday, 3rd Friday, 4th Tuesday). One person to fill each profession so as not to split loyalties.
The next one meets next Tuesday and we’re having Steve Black speak – come check it out as its open to all!
PREN 3 has about 5 people and we’re looking to start PREN 4 with a financial advisor and mortgage broker. Let me know if you’re interested!
