July is typically a peak summer vacation month so we will take a break from our regularly scheduled monthly luncheon and resume next month and in the months to come with some wonderful topics and speakers.

In the meantime, we have coordinated, are offering and are sharing many other programming activities to take part in in July. There will be a Chamber Morning Meet up, a downtown walking tour, a ribbon cutting, a Chamber Night Out and more. Read below for details, mark your calendars and join in for some summertime fun.

Additionally, as we strive to provide value for your membership, we have secured a new discount for Middleburg Heights Chamber of Commerce members. Read further for details on the corporate discount at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse.

Want a fast and casual way to increase your awareness about a local organization? Want to grab a quick up of coffee, get a little tour and do a little networking?

Join us for the next Chamber Morning Meet Up at the Middleburg Heights Food Pantry. You may have heard a lot about it but have not had an opportunity to gain insight into its operations.

No RSVP, no charge. Join us and still be on your way for your AM meetings.
