Letter from the Director

from Karen Park

Happy October, Chamber Members and Friends!

While I'm glad the summer weather stayed with us *just* long enough for a perfect day of golf on October 3rd, I am thrilled that fall is finally here in Webster Groves, Shrewsbury, Rock Hill and Brentwood! There is no better way to celebrate the changing of the seasons than the Rock Hill Fall Festival, which I attended on October 7th.
 

Chamber member Rock Hill Public Library Director Erin Phelps with Rock Hill Mayor Edward Mahan and Rock Hill Public Library Trustee Diane Madras.

Fall is filled with so many fantastic events and opportunities to enjoy the natural beauty of our wonderful community; I wish you all the chance to explore what Webster Groves, Shrewsbury, Rock Hill and Brentwood have to offer this month, with appreciation for the peace and camaraderie these communities provide.

Best,

Karen Park
Executive Director

September's Lunch & Connections

The Chamber was thrilled to welcome Webster University Mens Golf Coach Brad Davis as the featured speaker at the September Lunch & Connections event. Held every third Thursday of each month at Hacienda Mexican Restaurant, Lunch & Connections is the *perfect* way to network with Chamber members and guests, discover what is happening in the local business community, and learn something valuable from each month's featured speaker or panel.

In September, Brad Smith, a coach/ex-professional golfer/entrepreneur, shared his life story, filled with examples of how perseverance saw him through many challenges to worldwide success!
 


Mark your calendars for the next Lunch & Connections, featuring a panel of speakers from Webster Groves, Shrewsbury and Rock Hill City Halls on October 19th. Register here: https://www.webstershrewsburychamber.com/calendar
