Events Around Savannah From Savannah Area Chamber Of Commerce
Bill Shira, Chamber Chair
Gulfstream
The Chamber is hosting its 2nd Annual Savannah River Oyster Roast Business Connection Thursday, December 6 from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. This event drew more than 250 professionals to the River Lawn at the Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort & Spa in its first year last December. Like all of our Business Connections, it gave those people the opportunity to network and spread the word about what makes their product or service so unique. I encourage you to come out and take advantage of this chance to mingle with other Chamber members in a relaxed, picturesque setting, while enjoying oysters and beverages. This event is coming up quick, so mark your calendars and plan to attend!
There are many other happenings going on now and in the weeks ahead, and you can find information on them in the events section below.
Please remember to support the Chamber and our fellow members by doing business with other Chamber members. For more information, visit SavannahChamber.com or call 912.644.6400.
