The Tuesday, April 17 Business After Hours was held last week at Big Bend Hospice, located at 275 W. Base St., in Madison.
Friends, community leaders, business owners/employees, chamber members and Big Big Hospice board members all gathered together to enjoy good food, fun, and fellowship. Hors d-oeuvres of shrimp, cheese and crackers, and sweet treats were served to all guests, along with a delicious punch.
Big Bend Hospice's mission is to provide expert health care, encouragement, hope, compassion, and companionship to those who are in need in Madison County and surrounding counties. They strive to remove the fear of the unknown and guide you through the difficulties of dealing with a life-limiting illness.
Big Bend Hospice presented three attendees with special door prizes. The lucky winners were (pictured left to right): Bryant Thigpen, Joanne Watson, and Nicole Lamar.

These monthly Business After Hours events are held in hopes to help promote and ensure the advancement of the local community, in a fun-filled atmosphere designed to encourage networking and interaction while enjoying delectable food and drink. They are held on the third Tuesday of each month at the office location of a Chamber member. It's an opportunity for chamber members to form relationships, which strengthen community bonds; because people do business with people they know.
