Building Community, One Event at a Time

We are jumping into February with events designed to bring people together, spark ideas and strengthen the connections that make our business community thrive. 

Leading the way this month is Strike Up Connections: An All Members Chamber Night on Tuesday, Feb. 10 from 6 p.m.–8 p.m. at Montrose Bowl, 2334 Honolulu Ave. This is a fun, welcoming evening to meet fellow business owners, connect with the Chamber and explore the tools and resources available to help local businesses grow. Whether you’re deeply involved or just getting curious, this is the perfect night to connect!

We’re also excited to celebrate a new business milestone, alongside our neighbors at the Crescenta Valley Chamber and the Glendale Chamber. We’re hosting a joint ribbon cutting for the grand opening of Montrose ADHC (Adult Day Healthcare Center) on Thursday, Feb. 19 at 2 p.m.

Then on Wednesday, Feb. 25 at noon, the community is invited to join us for a Lunch and Learn workshop with Ani Simonian, owner and CEO of American Savings Financial Services. The workshop will be held in the hall of Crescenta Valley United Methodist Church. Ani will share approachable, real-world guidance on budgeting, goal-setting and making finances feel far less intimidating for both individuals and business owners. The workshop is open to all, lunch will be provided and we encourage attendees to RSVP.

And with spring just around the corner, excitement is already building as we prepare for our 6th Annual Easter Egg My Home event, proudly supported by the YMCA of the Foothills, followed closely by the 11th Annual Montrose Craft Beer Fest on Sunday, April 12!

February is just the beginning. From bowling lanes to ribbon cuttings to community traditions, there’s so much happening and even more to be a part of.
