While we are still enjoying 85+ degree weather,
it’s hard to believe that the kids are back in
school and fall is just around the corner! As
we reflect back on the success of our summer
events... the Golf Outing, Rose Parade,
Member Appreciation Picnic & Taste of Roselle, I would like to thank all
of our countless volunteers and our Executive Director, Gail Croson, for
their dedication to this Chamber. We should all be proud of a job well done!
I would like to thank Matt & Paul from Bulldog Ale House for hosting a
wonderful After-Hours this past month. Their incredible food and beer
selection provide a relaxed and fun atmosphere which made networking easy.
Don’t forget to visit them again soon!
Be sure to mark your calendar for our upcoming meetings. This month’s
Membership Meeting on Tuesday, September 17th will be held at
Villaggio Ristorante. We invited the Illinois State Comptroller Topinka’s
office to speak about their POWER Program, a resource that provides small
businesses with the tools needed to compete for, and land, state contracts.
Later in the month Langner Eye Care will open their doors to the membership
on Wednesday, September 25th for our After-Hours event. Stop by to tour
one of Roselle’s finest eye care facilities!
On October 11th, we have a VERY exciting event, the Roselle Chamber’s
first Casino Night!! Please make sure you join us for this fun filled night
featuring professional gaming tables and dealers, “funny money”, a fabulous
buffet including wine and beer, door prize, raffle, entertainment & more! The
entertainment and music will be provided by the fantastic Hit It!® Mobile DJs
and a Rose Parade favorite Captain Jack Sparrow!!! It’ll be a GREAT night
of entertainment, food and camaraderie for just $35! (See insert for additional
