11 The Bellingham Chamber of Commerce is holding a networking breakfast for local business owners from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. at Northwood Hall – 3240 Northwest Avenue.
The breakfast is a chance for businesses to get to know each other and possibly find something they have been lacking.
Business owners sit at tables of eight and each have one minute to talk about their company. After the whole table has spoken everyone moves to a different table and the process repeats itself.
The breakfast is free for first timers. This event is held at regular intervals. For those wishing to attend more than one you can become a member of the Bellingham Chamber of Commerce for $245 to $2,500 a year.
On the third Thursday of every month the chamber holds a “Business after Business” (BAB) meeting where anyone from the public can attend and network with others. November BAB meeting will be at Bellingham Hot Tub and Fireplace at 3703 Bennett Drive.
