North Mason Chamber of Commerce :: Thanks for Supporting Our July After Hours Event

Our July 8 After Hours event held from 5 to 7pm at Theler Center in Belfair was a sell out! We showcased 16 smaller businesses and home-based businesses that may otherwise not have had the opportunity to host an "After Hours" event.

Participants staffed individual display tables and had the opportunity to speak about their respective businesses. Membership chair Casey Hoffman of Farmers Insurance Belfair was so pleased with the success of this event that she's already planning a repeat for next year.

Our photo, shot by Steve Zugschwerdt, chamber photographer, shows Dennis Hamilton of Training Associates Pacific (TAP) addressing the crowd in front of his business display.

Thank you to everyone who attended and supported this event, and a special thanks to our chamber members who came out to set up their displays, share their stories, promote their businesses and meet and greet our chamber membership at the 1st annual Small Business After Hours hosted by the North Mason Chamber of Commerce.

After Hours is a program jointly sponsored by the North Mason Chamber of Commerce and our membership. The goal is to support and promote local business and provide opportunities to network and get acquainted with each other in a fun and social environment. One of the most fun and effective ways of growing your business or organization is to participate in networking opportunities. You will be supporting your fellow chamber members while benefiting your own success.

After Hours events are open to all chamber members and guests. If you would like to invite the membership to your place of business and co-host an "After Hours" with the North Mason Chamber of Commerce, please contact President/CEO Frank Kenny at 360.275.4267 or frank@northmasonchamber.com.
