RSVP’s required in order to get a breakfast crepe (Rise and Shine or Greekfast). $10 for Chamber Members/$15 for Prospective Members (and walk-ins but you might not get a crepe!)
Rise and Shine is eggs, bacon, and cheddar while Greekfast is eggs, feta cheese, spinach & tomato.
We just had a cancellation for the 9 a.m. SCORE counseling session for tomorrow. If you can make it, please email me back right away.
D’Agostino’s Pizza & Pub About 50 attended the business after hours at D’Agostino’s Pizza & Pub, 742 W. Higgins Road, last Thursday. Thank you to Scott and Sara D’Agostino and to Courtney for coordinating – and to our server Carly! It was fun, delicious, and profitable for all those who networked there! Everyone who attended got a t-shirt and attached to each t-shirt was a coupon for a pizza!
A raffle was held with Howard Frimark winning the $25 D’Agostino gift card; Kane Connell won the wine tasting and picnic pack donated by WineStyles, and also the taxi voucher to O’Hare donated by Park Ridge Taxi; Mickey Sons won the car wash donated by Like New Auto Spa; and Frank DeBartolo won the gift certificate from Tech Stuff PC & Video.
A business card drawing for a pizza party at D’Agostino’s for 10 people was won by Rand Schwiezer.
