This month, the first stop will be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Limitless Insurance Group LLC, 2908 W. Oak St. in Palestine. The second stop is from 4 to 6 p.m. at Rancho Grande, 555 E.

Visit city businesses, network at Thursday's Chamber Connection
Palestine Area Chamber of Commerce invites members of the public to learn about local business and network with community members Thursday at its February Chamber Connection. 'We're excited to invite you to our upcoming monthly networking event, featuring three engaging stops that promise to foster connections and inspire collaboration,' said Anja Cline, member relations coordinator for the Palestine Area Chamber of Commerce. For the first stop, enjoy freshly brewed coffee and a variety of breakfast options while participating in a networking activity at Southside Bank. 'This is a fantastic opportunity to meet fellow professionals and exchange ideas in a relaxed setting,' Cline said. For the second stop, gather at Palestine Economic Development for lunch, where you will learn about economic development in our community. 'Aren't we all eager to learn about new businesses coming to town?' Cline asked. 'This stop will provide valuable insights and discussions. Don't miss the chance to network with local leaders and discover what's on the horizon for our community.' PEDC Director Christophe Trahan said he was really excited to be hosting Thursday's connection. 'We have JT's Warthog Creole Kitchen coming out to cater and we have this great activity planned, that Anja came up with, to allow those in attendance to try their hand at site selection for the city of Palestine. 'We have a map of the city, with several sites highlighted and we will allow people who come to tell us what businesses you could potentially place there and then tell them why that would or would not work.' The final stop of the day will be Applebee's ,where Cline said attendees can enjoy food and further connect with fellow attendees in a welcoming atmosphere. 'All stops are open to everyone,' Cline said. 'Whether you're looking to expand your network, learn about local developments or simply enjoy great food and company, this event is for you. We look forward to seeing you there.' Held on the third Thursday of the month, the Chamber Connection typically showcases three area businesses or organizations, each hosting a reception at various times during the day. The monthly event provides an opportunity for area businesses and individuals to meet and network while learning about chamber business members and their services.
