Dear ECCI Members:
What an exciting and eventful summer it has been! The Chamber is honored to take part in so many wonderful events throughout our city, and we’re grateful for the continued support and engagement from our members and community.
One of our favorite annual traditions is coming up, the 35th Annual New Teachers Luncheon on Wednesday, August 6. We’re proud to partner with Elmhurst Community Unit School District 205 to give incoming teachers a warm Chamber welcome. Thank you to everyone who registered and donated items to our gift bag.
We’re approaching our annual “Networking on the 9’s” Golf Outing – September 12 will be here before you know it! This fun event welcomes golfers of all levels. Not a golfer? No problem! Join us for lunch and networking at the beautiful Sugar Creek Golf Course. The outing will also feature a silent auction, raffle, and more – it’s the perfect opportunity to connect with fellow Chamber members in a relaxed setting.
We’re currently seeking raffle donations – a great way to promote your business and support this event. From gift cards and services to products and experiences, every item helps make the day more exciting! Sponsorship opportunities are also still available. We hope to see you there for a great afternoon.
The City of Elmhurst, in partnership with the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus, is participating in the Homes for a Changing Region housing planning program in 2025. This initiative provides research and technical support to help municipalities better understand their housing needs. The city is asking business owners, residents, employers, and those who work in Elmhurst to share their insights through a short, anonymous community survey. Survey Link: HERE
Looking ahead, September is Chamber of Commerce Month – a time to recognize the vital role Chambers play in supporting local businesses and strengthening our communities. Mayor Scott Levin will proclaim the week of September 7–13 in Elmhurst as Chamber of Commerce Week. Stay tuned for updates about special Chamber month promotions. Thank you for being a part of our Chamber community!
