Croquet Mixer – A Swinging Good Time

Chamber members started their 2012 networking at the Chamber’s January Mixer at the National Croquet Center, the largest dedicated croquet facility in the world. The NCC is located on the corner of Summit Boulevard and Florida Mango Road in West Palm Beach. Early arrivals were able to learn and play croquet on the beautifully- manicured croquet courts before dark, while others enjoyed the view from the wraparound veranda of the 19,000 sq. foot clubhouse. The National Croquet Center offers free lessons on Saturdays at 10 a.m.

By combining the elegance of the Croquet Center and the professionalism of SandyJames Fine Foods and Productions, its exclusive caterer, the Center is the perfect place to host any affair. By mixing the fun game of croquet with great food, drinks and ambience, they offer corporate and social groups an unmatched entertainment package ideal for corporate outings, team building, charity fundraisers, incentive groups, client entertainment, V.I.P. functions and award ceremonies.

Special thanks to our ambassadors Roy Wiley, E.J. Matot, Bob Wickwire and Dave DuHamel for their assistance.

Top Ten Reasons to Belong to the Chamber of Commerce

of the Palm BeachesReason # 4Appear in Chamber publications! The Chamber of Commerce of the Palm Beaches is proud to announce the release the 2012 issue of the Guide to the Palm Beaches. The Guide debuted at the Chamber’s “State of Our City Address” breakfast in January, where Mayor Muoio spoke to an audience of nearly 900 local business men and women. Each of the event attendees received a copy of the newly-released publication.

With a distribution of over 8,000, the Guide is full of information on the Palm Beaches as a community as well as a business environment. It contains information on neighborhoods and schools, transportation and medical care, where to go and what to do. There are also demographics, newcomer information and insights into the business community. The Guide is included in the countless visitor and relocation packages sent out by the Chamber each year. It is the most frequently requested item in the Chamber lobby from the extensive foot-traffic and visitors to the Chamber seeking information and resource tools. All Chamber members are listed twice in the publication - once alphabetically and once by category with complete contact information, including website addresses.

For more information on the Chamber publications and the many benefits of membership, contact Kelly Fanelli, Membership Director, at (561) 833-3711 ext. 235 or kfanelli@palmbeaches.org.

“My Legal Shield business has definitely benefited from being on the Ambassador Committee and on the Women in Business Committee. The people involved in both these committee, chaired by Kelly Fanelli and Kelley Burke respectively, have been great to work with and are always trying to promote each others businesses. In addition, by my being a member of the Chamber and by attending a lot of the functions that the Chamber offers, my business has profited from all of the alliances that I have made and prospects that I have met. Without this membership, none of this would have happened. I would strongly advise people to seriously consider joining the Chamber of the Palm Beaches, especially if they want to see their business grow and prosper.” Joan Quittnerjquittner@prepaidlegal.com
