The slight show of Fall Weather didn’t discourage the Arcadia Chamber crowd this morning at our monthly Networking Breakfast, sponsored by Rose Hills Memorial Park and Cemetery. In the midst of their renovations Embassy Suites by Hilton, hosted the Networking Breakfast bringing the usual breakfast fair including eggs, bacon, sausage, omelettes and fruit, but in addition to this the team set up a full Bagel bar including three different cream cheeses and smoked salmon. Today’s breakfast consisted of self-introductions, a networking talk time and section of testimonials and raffle.
The excitement behind Taste of Arcadia, which is now fast approaching, generated a large attendance of over 60 guests and a clear enthusiasm in the conversation. In addition to Taste of Arcadia, which many members will be a part of, everyone in attendance was conducting their own various events. Mike Antenesse of the Foothill Unity Center mentioned that they are about to hose their annual 2017 Golden Plate Award on Thursday, September 28, 2017.
