    • We have jobs posted! Keep them coming and tell those that may be interested.
  • Member-to-Member Discounts are now live under the "Member Services" tab.
    • We have member-exclusive discounts posted! Take a look and see if one of these deals is right for you.

Golf & Network

"Third Thursday Tee-Time™"
Chamber Summer Golf & Network

Oneka Ridge Golf Course
3rd Thursday of each month 
(August 21st is the next golf date)
Tee times starting at 3:12 pm

 
Jon Hatcher, Manager at Oneka Ridge, is generously supporting us by giving discounted rates for any member of this group: $15/Walk or $22 to ride for 9 holes. If you wish to take on 18 holes he is also discounting those rates for $20/walk or $30 to ride!  

The goal is that every month, you are teeing up with different business chamber members. In past years we have included a “topic of discussion” each week. Looking for input if we want to incorporate it this year again.

RSVP: Please call or email either Carrie at carrieh@apsofmn.com or Kyle at kyle.sommer@tbs.toshiba.com to sign up and we will adjust tees accordingly. We need to give Oneka a heads up if there are more than three tees so please RSVP by the Monday of the week we are golfing.
