What are Business Socials?
The Kensington and Area Chamber of Commerce’s Business Socials provide an fantastic opportunity to kick-back and relax while growing your network and recommending your products and services.
Word-of-mouth in a small community is important, and success often depends on “who you know or tell.”
Our socials welcome members and non-members to attend.
Don't forget to bring your business cards to share and maybe to WIN something!
