August and September will provide some great opportunities for our members to network and get involved in the business community. Attend this month’s West County Breakfast for Business where we will be engaged in discussion with local Richmond business owners on what it’s like to own a business in Richmond and what we can do promote local business. Later that same day, plan to join Contra Costa County Supervisor John Gioia for lunch at Chevy’s Fresh Mex where he will be speaking on local Air Quality Management issues. September’s mixer will be one not to miss! Join us for our annual First Responders Appreciation Mixer.
