First Fridays is reflecting the spirit of Thanksgiving – Park Ridge Merchants seek to raise 1,000 lbs of food for Maine Township Food Pantry during First Fridays: “Remember in November.”
Residents are encouraged to bring non perishable items to participating businesses. Each person who donates will receive a coupon that may be redeemed during WinterFest on November 25. For a complete list of participating businesses visit FirstFridaysPR.com.
Thank you’s to:
Wendy at Houlihan’s for hosting the Chamber’s Business After Hours last Thursday – thank you! It was wonderful and well attended! I’m estimating about 60 members attended throughout the 2 hour evening!
Kymberlee Raya, Big Shot Marketing, for her dynamic presentation on email marketing at the Women in Business Breakfast. 42 people attended. Thank you to those who brought raffle prizes too! The funds raised go towards the Holiday Lights.
Panera Bread for catering the wonderful breakfast!
And to Public Works for allowing us to move our meeting there! The room is perfect for presentations and we appreciated the availability and Terry’s ‘can-do’ attitude in getting us situated.
If you are a U.S. military veteran, please email me and let me know.
