Weekly Newsletter 11/3

November 2016

President's Corner



Tomorrow is the big day – which is why you are receiving this week’s newsletter on Thursday instead of Wednesday. Ashley, Carmen and I have been crazy busy here in the office finishing the final details for the event.

Wine and Cigars Under the Stars is happening tomorrow night from 6:00 to 9:00 pm at our Chamber member business Palmbrook Country Club.  Palmbrook is located at 9350 W. Greenway Rd. in Sun City 85351.  Each year our Veterans and Military Affairs Committee puts on this fun charity event to raise money to provide two $2,000 scholarships to graduating senior JROTC cadets, one from Peoria High School and one from Cactus High School.

It's a fun evening of wine tasting inside and cigar smoking outside (for us non-smokers we won’t even smell it). Each guest will have the opportunity to sample 3 white wines and 4 red wines with the cigar smokers enjoying samples of Glenfiddich Scotch, Red Breast Irish Whiskey and Fire Station No.1 Whiskey distilled right here in Peoria from our own Lucidi Distilling Company.

There will be great food, great speakers and some terrific piano music provided by Christopher Glowacki who you may have enjoyed before at an Arrowhead Country Club brunch.  So, if you’re looking for an enjoyable evening on Friday night, why not join us and support our JROTC Cadets, our future military leaders?

Here are two major "Save the Dates”. On Wednesday, November 16th our Chamber is doing a combined networking luncheon with the Phoenix Metro Chamber at Arrowhead Country Club, located at 19888 N. 73rd Avenue in Glendale.  Each person attending pays for their own lunch and beverages and you do not need to register in advance.  Here is a great opportunity to broaden your business contacts.

December 15th is a 3 Chamber mixer at Laser Quest, a Peoria Chamber member.  The event is from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm or longer if you’re having fun.  It will consist of the Peoria Chamber, North Phoenix Chamber and the Phoenix Metro Chamber. This will be the perfect opportunity to meet new referral sources and get more exposure for your business.  Laser Quest is located at 3335 W. Peoria in Phoenix.  More details to follow.

Talk to you next week!

The Millennials Corner

23rd Edition of
The Millennials Corner:

Maximizing Millennials in the Workplace
by Nikkie Byers

As millennials are gaining momentum in the workforce, there's a few traits to note that separate them from the rest. They view the world differently and have redefined meanings of success, personality, and professionalism. While every individual has strengths and opportunities, millennials in the workforce can be seen as tech-savy, multitaskers.

On the Ballot



On November 8, 2016, Peoria voters will have the opportunity to decide whether to increase the current sales tax rate by four-tenths of one cent to fund specific citywide projects within the following categories:    
 
• Public safety
• Open space
• Parks and recreation
• Neighborhood stabilization    

Revenues generated will go into a designated fund, and will also support the ongoing operations and maintenance of these projects. All proposed needs were identified by a committee of Peoria citizens, representing all areas of the city.  

Click Here to learn more about how the City will use the additional funds.
