The Ooltewah/Collegedale Chamber Council is trying to stimulate the local economy with its new Council Coffee series.
“The mission is to promote the economy and business activity in our community,” said Council president-elect Suzanne Burrell. “It’s really just an opportunity to meet other business owners. We wanted to come up with a strategy to have a face, a presence in Ooltewah as well, because we cover there as well.”
Monthly general membership meetings are already held in Collegedale.
Sherri Morris and Frank Glover take in some coffee and conversation during the Ooltewah/Chamber Council’s Chamber Coffee event, hosted the first Friday of every month. Morris works for PDQ Services and Glover lives and works in Ooltewah with local Geek Monkey computer and laptop repair.The morning coffee series takes place the first Friday of every month from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. in roving locations. The meetings are free to attend and open to the general public.
“It’s attended by people from all over Hamilton County, not just our member businesses,” said Burrell. “Anyone can attend. You don’t even have to be a Chamber member.”
