Cary-Grove Chamber to Host Open House

Cary-Grove Chamber of Commerce moved to new offices in December 2010. The new offices now allow for more services to be offered to business owners and the community.

On Wednesday, Feb. 23 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., the Chamber is having an open house to showcase their new offices at 445 Park Avenue in Cary on Route 14 at Silver Lake Road. 

"This new location takes our Chamber to the next level in providing value and service to the business community," said Chamber Executive Director Suzanne Corr.  "We will now have a professional reception area where our members can post a brochure or business card and the community can visit to get information and literature on the vast business and community resources we have available in the Cary and Fox River Grove area.

The Chamber office will offer appetizers and drinks. Business owners are encourage to bring business cards, pamphlets and brochures, so they can be displayed in the new offices.

"This new location positions us to provide value to all Chamber members, whether they are involved in Chamber activities or not," Corr said. "This is critical in today's demanding business environment.  While being involved in Chamber activities can reap big rewards, we must also offer value at any level of involvement."

Along with the new offices, the chamber has new board members and officers.
