Upcoming Events
Networking Breakfast
Our Networking Breakfast will be held on Wednesday, February 1st at 8:00am in the Freight Station Museum on Emerson St in Lake Odessa. Everyone is welcome as this event is enriched by your business information. The purpose of the meeting is to encourage networking and allow each attendee to give a brief overview of their business in the form of a one minute commercial. From these 'mini commercials' we hope that those who attend can and will make referrals and promote our local businesses to friends, family and peers. This month's event will be hosted by the Lake Odessa Community Library. They will be giving us an update on their expansion plans. |
