_________________________________ Creating A Successful Business Community ___________________________
Create Your Own Board with Your Collaborative Board.See what the members said who attended their complimentary session in February:
“The flow of the group with Karen’s guidance allowed for open discussion and collaboration among each of us in the room. In just the first meeting I left with tools to overcome some of my immediate struggles and em-powerment to continue to grow and succeed. Looking forward to what the next year holds.”
I personally got a great deal from the session. It was clear that Karen has facilitated these types of groups before. I ap-
preciated the format which provoked a different type of think-ing about plan execution versus simply talking about it. The unexpected benefit to me was the strong network that Karen
has and how she was able to connect the dots for many mem-bers in terms of resources they could tap into.

Letter from the President of the BoardHey Chamber Members!Looks like Spring weather is starting to poke through…so exciting!Given that it’s getting a little nicer to get outside and walk around, I’d highly recommend taking an hour or two to visit some of the fantastic storefront businesses that comprise our chamber. These chamber members tend to make it to less of the monthly luncheons,
however, they’re so incredibly important to the vitality and presence of our chamber To name just a few:• Balkan Treat Box, Layla, Firenza Pizza & Ziggy’s Frozen Treat, and The Frisco
Barroom are all very new establishments and add so much vibrance to our business districts.
• Four of our longest-standing restaurant members, CJ Muggs Bar & Grill, Llywelyn’s Pub, Cyrano’s Cafe, and Weber’s Front Row Grill all have great outdoor dining areas.
• Maypop Coffee & Garden Shop serves a great cup of coffee, and their outdoor space is great for those of us who have a green thumb (or, as is the case with many of us, would like to develop one).
• Global Brew and Taphouse has one of my favorite outdoor spaces in Rock Hill. Perfect place to catch up with friends.
Also, since it’s easy and fun, I’d recommend popping by the chamber’s offices and picking up some “I’m Here” cards and handing them out while patronizing storefront chamber member businesses. It’s a wonderful way to thank them for a great experience. Be sure to mark your calendar for FunFest 63119, which is earlier this year, on April 6th. Share our posts on social media. If you don’t have a booth yet, I encourage you to get one.Enjoy life this month and know that the chamber is here for you to support you in your business endeavors. As always, I’m just a call, text, or email away if you’d like to chat.
All the best,
Andrew Chao
