Weekly Chamber Update

The second First Fridays Park Ridge was a great success! Many were out enjoying the sounds of summer in the beautiful weather as musicians walked the streets. The spontaneous gathering in front of the library to sing the Star Spangled Banner was a big hit. Musicians were coordinated by Jared at Allegro Music, and thanks again to Sheila Duda, TeaLula, and her Retail Committee for coordinating this amazing monthly event!

Thank you to The Bethany Terrace for hosting the Chamber’s June Business After Hours! It was a great event with multiple Chamber members in attendance and was a wonderful start to the holiday weekend. Many members connected and made good contacts, leads and referrals.
