On Friday, October 13, 2023 we had our Fall New Member Breakfast at Brookdale Senior Living in Creve Coeur. We are grateful to Erin Swenson and Brookdale Creve Coeur for Sponsoring and Hosting our breakfast to welcome our new members.

Mo Riad, President of the Chamber Board of Directors, brought our meeting to order and welcomed our new members and all in attendance. We also heard words of welcome and support from Mayor Maxine Weil from the city of Olivette, Mayor Robert Hoffman from the city of Creve Coeur, and Dr. Monica Stewart from the office of the County Executive.

As is the custom at this event, new members were invited to introduce themselves and their business. Those present are listed below:

• Lily Hanlon and Diana Ramirez with The Clover at Olive Crossing
• Rachel McShane with SCS Engineers
• Tonya Winingar with Brain Train Center St. Louis
• Julia Lewis with Love Your Life Consulting
• Andrew Donahue with Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers
• Maurya Cockrell with A Right Place for Seniors
• Ben Toben with Cornerstone Wealth Management

Next Larry Tessler, Ambassador and Chamber Board Member, shared some helpful insights to our new members and how they can take advantage of their Chamber Membership. Larry also introduced them to our Ambassadors and explained how they are here to help them get connected and started with their membership. Then Tom Lancia, Executive Director of the Chamber, shared about upcoming opportunities and benefits that come with their membership.

Finally we took time to introduce other members in the room and take a New Member Photo. Click Here to view pictures taken that morning by Kevin McCarty with McCarty Photography.
