Business Neighborhood: Fenton Industrial Park South

Let's Get Together... In Your Neighborhood!  
Meeting members & supporting businesses... one neighborhood at a time!
The Fenton Chamber is committed to meeting members where they are. Through the "In Your Neighborhood" program, we make it EASIER for our members to connect with Fenton Chamber staff and fellow members, as well as meeting fellow business owners near them that they may not meet at other events. With each of these IYN events, we select/target a "neighborhood" location by choosing a meeting place for breakfast/lunch/after hours. All are welcome to each IYN event, but we do make an effort to personally invite members (event non-members) within close distance of that location to attend.

No event fee; attendees pay their own way
