Hybrid Luncheon

We are continuing our hybrid Luncheon. The Chamber is offering two options for you to attend our monthly luncheon; our current Virtual Luncheon hosted on Zoom and the In-Person Option to meet at Tapatio Mexican Grill. You will need to register in advance for the option you prefer. For those choosing to attend In-Person at Tapatio, you will order your lunch off the regular menu and pay your lunch fee directly to Tapatio. The speaker portion of the luncheon will be broadcast on the TV screens.
