Chamber Update

Posted

Ah, sweet summer! This has to be the best time of the year – long sunlight-filled days, kids chasing fireflies at night, vacation time to savor and lazy Friday afternoons filled with the anticipation of the summer weekend ahead. But now it’s August, and the clock is ticking as the days shorten. Pretty soon the school buses will start rolling again. So the message is this: Savor this last precious month of summer and enjoy every delicious day!

One of the summer’s hottest business networking events will be held on Wednesday, August 20, at the Conference Center at the Maritime Institute in Linthicum. It’s a huge business exchange breakfast with representatives from numerous business organizations. The fee is $25 for members (in advance) and $45 at the door for members and nonmembers. Give us a call today to secure your seat.

Fall is coming, and it does mean lots of good stuff too, like football, pumpkins and fall festivals. One festival that you won’t want to miss is the Shop Local Fun Festival, scheduled for Saturday, September 13, at Park Plaza (with a rain date of September 20). The Shop Local Fun Festival will run from noon to 5:00pm, and there will be entertainment, food, vendors and exhibits. It’s an event for the entire family and we guarantee you a good time. Put it on your calendar and watch for more details!

The Greater Severna Park and Arnold Chamber is also excited about the “Driving Force for Business” Golf Tournament, scheduled for Monday, September 22, at Chartwell Golf and Country Club. This year’s tournament begins with a 9:00am shotgun start. Breakfast will be catered by Garry’s Grill. There will be an awards luncheon with live music and lots of fun perks for our golfers. There is an “early bird” discount that extends to September 1. We hope to hear from you. This is a traditional sell-out tournament and one of a limited number of tournaments at Chartwell. Sponsorships are available, and this is a great place for marketing your business.

We’re very excited to host our first health and wellness event – the Total Wellness Expo - scheduled for Thursday, October 2, from 4:00pm to 7:00pm at Homestead Gardens in Severna Park. Our sponsors are TLC Home LLC and Cooch & Bowers, PA. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Bello Machre. The event will provide the community with valuable information related to physical, personal and environmental health through information-packed exhibits and hands-on experiences. If you are interested in being an exhibitor, please contact us at 410-647-3900 or send an email to info@severnaparkchamber.com.

Another date to save is November 20, when the chamber will once again hold the very popular Taste & Sip at Homestead Gardens in Severna Park. This event provides a perfect opportunity for our restaurants, caterers and purveyors of fine wines to showcase their products in the exquisitely appointed Homestead Gardens. Watch for details.
