Chamber Cheri has the lineup for the week — it’s luncheon week and a full slate of chances to connect, learn, and celebrate. Whether you want to brush up on chamber benefits, enjoy a great meal while hearing a compelling speaker, or welcome a new business at their Ribbon Cutting Celebration, there’s something for you. Read on for times, highlights, and how to register.

This week’s highlights

• Wednesday — Chamber 101
  10:15 a.m. with Jeanna Bumpas, Commercial Insurance Advisor. This is the perfect refresher if you want to learn more about what the chamber offers or uncover opportunities you may have missed. It's free to attend, but seating is limited — register early.
• Wednesday — Monthly Luncheon
  Immediately following Chamber 101, join the luncheon presented by Accurate Home and Commercial Services. Enjoy food from All Star Catering Company, a chance to win a center prize from Splendora ISD Education Foundation, and a keynote from Daniel Potter of the Kinder Institute for Urban Research at Rice University. This event is expected to fill up quickly — secure your spot now.
• Thursday — Ribbon-cutting and Happy Hour
  Help welcome Chachi's Next Door to the chamber community. The ribbon-cutting happy hour starts at 4 p.m. at their Kingwood location. A great opportunity to support a new local business and expand your network.
• Thank You!
  Thanks to everyone who sponsored and participated — the Mardi Gras Casino Night Extravaganza was a huge success. Stay tuned for photos and follow-up opportunities with sponsors and organizers.
