On Friday morning, October 29, 2021 we had our New Member Breakfast at the Holiday Inn St. Louis-Creve Coeur. We were excited to be gathering in person for this event and being able to welcome some of our new members that joined us this year.

We are grateful to Brookdale Senior Living Creve Coeur and Holiday Inn St. Louis-Creve Coeur for Sponsoring our New Member Breakfast.

Anna Marie Wehr, President of the Chamber Board of Directors, brought our meeting to order. After saying the Pledge of Allegiance together and recognizing our sponsors we heard some encouraging and supportive words from Mayor Sidney Clark (City of Olivette) and Mayor Robert Hoffman (City of Creve Coeur).

As is the custom at this event, Anna Marie invited our new members one at a time to introduce themselves and their business. Those present are listed below and pictured above:

Next Brandon Reuther, Board Member and Vice President of Membership, welcomed our new members and introduced them to our Ambassadors. Brandon also shared some helpful insights on how to take advantage of their chamber membership. Then Brandon invited  Tom Lancia, Executive Director of the Chamber, to share about some upcoming opportunities and other benefits that come with their chamber membership.

Finally, we took time to meet the other members in the room and take a New Member Photo. CLICK HERE to see all the pictures from that morning.
