The text appears to be from our organization and includes a link and/or phone number to make the update. Busey will never send a text making such a request and these are attempts by scammers to fraudulently obtain your account information. Click HERE for more information. Read the Pioneer! Catch up on all the latest news and read The Pioneer Newspaper ONE on WON Program Announced! ONE on WON We are excited to kick off our *ONE on WON* program! This program was created to culminate relationships with other like-minded businesspeople or members from groups or organizations that may find it difficult or intimidating in a group setting. Jeff Weinacht from Pulse Personal Training will be collecting a list of business professionals who are interested in getting together one on one to meet and get to know each other on a personal and professional level. The idea behind the meetings is not to “sell” each other’s products or services, but simply to network in an atmosphere that allows for conversations with minimal distractions, as well as an opportunity to get to know one another. The Highland Community is growing quickly and has a wide range of new businesses that have opened in the last year. This is a great opportunity to build relationships with people who can share experiences and work together as opportunities arise! While the Highland Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours is our greatest opportunity to network on a regular basis, *ONE on WON* is a way for individuals to network in a more intimate setting and build meaningful, professional relationships! We will have a sign up sheet at our Business After Hours or you can contact Jeff anytime at 618-792-8250 Highland Welcome Club with Janet Nicolaides For Information about Welcome Club, Click on the image below!!!
