SUMMARY:Networking Luncheon: CoolToday Park
DESCRIPTION:This February\, we’re taking our networking luncheon out to the ballpark…and trust me\, this is one you won’t want to strike out on. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a very special Chamber Networking Luncheon at CoolToday Park\, hosted at the Tiki Bar and Grill inside the park during Spring Training season. While the Braves will be away that day\, here’s the real win: many of the star players stay behind\, meaning there’s a strong chance for some unique\, up-close interactions you simply won’t get anywhere else. \n\n\n\nWe don’t usually mix business and batting practice\, but when opportunity knocks like this\, you’ve gotta swing. This luncheon is shaping up to be a home run for networking\, fun\, and unforgettable experiences. Including some cool door prizes and maybe a raffle item courtesy of the Atlanta Braves! \n\n\n\nWhether you’re looking to make new connections\, strengthen existing relationships\, or just enjoy a fantastic afternoon at one of the coolest venues in our region\, this is your chance to round the bases with fellow Chamber members.
