The chamber hopes that with these once-a-month mixers, that fellow business owners, and the community at large, will get to know each other better and become more familiar with what Madison’s small businesses, civic organizations, and churches have to offer.
Business After Hours events are held on the third Tuesday of each month at the office location of a Chamber member. So, mark your calendar for Tuesday, Nov. 16, and be sure to join your friends and neighbors from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Business After Hours events are free and open to the public.
