On Friday morning, April 8, 2022 we had our Spring New Member Breakfast at the Holiday Inn St. Louis - Creve Coeur.

We are grateful to the Holiday Inn St. Louis-Creve Coeur for Sponsoring, Hosting, and Catering our breakfast to welcome our new members!

Allen Burnett, 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 Mark Perkins, City Administrator for the City of Creve Coeur, and Missy Waldman, Council Member for the City of Olivette.

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

• Laura Austin & Kelsey Richards - Sugarfire Smokehouse in Olivette
• Ruth Barasa - NaRfula Financial Solutions
• Greg Cook & Sam Baer - Paul Davis Restoration of Metro West St. Louis
• Bernadette Corbeil - S2C Roofing Co.
• Jeremy Colton - Big Frog Custom T-Shirts & More
• Dan Flynn - Neptune Society
• John Hawkins - Insurance Store Inc.

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

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