• Southern Chester County Chamber of Commerce held its first progressive networking luncheon Thursday July 25 at Loch Nairn in Toughkenamon. Individuals representing area businesses sat at a table of six people, and each gave a two minute “elevator speech” about their business. After everyone at the table had spoken, people moved to another table to repeat the process. Like a square dance, the object was to interact with everyone in the group. Chamber member Ed Burke from Pegasus Technologies said the event was “incredibly effective and quite fun.” Group leader Jeanne McClellan took notes on how to make the next event even better.

Tickets are $10, $8 for students and seniors, and available at the door or on line at http://paperforming.ticketleap.com/nairobi/
