The Chamber

I joined the chamber of commerce two years ago, and have enjoyed everything that I've done with them. Today I attended an event they call Business Bites. We had lunch at a locally owned restaurant, and heard a presentation on non-verbal communication by Kerry Drissel of Idle Time Advertising. It was a very good presentation. Kerry is a Towson University Grad, and was very knowledgeable.

It was nice to see old friends, and make new ones. The chamber offers meetings of all kinds and it seems members that attend certain kinds don't necessarily attend others. So the cross-section of business people grew by attending this event.

I shared my desire to go to this type of event with a mentor of mine, and in that conversation I lamented the fact that it's $20-25 a pop to attend these events. He gave me a check within that month to attend for a year. So thankful for his investment in my ministry. He challenged me with the idea of being the "man of God" in our community, in this case the business community. Today I ended up talking with a couple people about their religious past, and future. I pray that God will use me to be His man in this community.
