Events in the month of May 2023


5/3/2023

Join us for our monthly luncheon where you will meet new people, make new connections and have the opportunity to introduce yourself and share about your business among like-minded individuals as it pertains to advancing commerce and community. We will hear from special guests with Great Rivers Greenway, an incredible group with a vision to connect greenways all across the St. Louis region. They are fresh off the heels of completing the Meramec Greenway extension over the Meramec River via a path that runs parallel to Interstate 44.

About Great Rivers Greenway:

Great Rivers Greenway is the public agency connecting the St. Louis region with greenways. In 2000, a vote of the people created a sales tax to leave a legacy for future generations by connecting three counties together with greenways. When complete, the concept calls for a 600-mile network of greenways connecting St. Louis City, St. Louis County and St. Charles County. With collaboration by many partners and driven by input from community members, the greenways come to life piece by piece.

Fenton Chamber luncheons are held monthly on the first Wednesday of the month.

Businesses Should Be Prepared, Too: Assess Your Risk... Create A Plan!
Presented by: Jan Mullaney, SERVPRO
Disasters and emergencies can take many forms within a business. Likewise, the "cost" - financial or otherwise - can vary from mild disruption to catastrophic and overwhelming. If your business is prepared to act in a range of different emergencies, you and your staff will be in a better position to recover and continue operations should disaster strike. Every business has unique vulnerabilities and weaknesses. Knowing which disasters are most likely to affect your business can also help you to return to operations faster. A response plan is a "roadmap" to recovery, however this may look different for each business depending on it's specific needs and operations. Jan Mullaney of SERVPRO will equip you with tips on how to handle emergencies at your business and actionable items to ensure you/your business is prepared in the event something should happen.

Business Neighborhood: Bowles Avenue & Rte 141

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
