Banning Chamber Business to Business Connection Meets Wednesday April 11

A networking group recently formed by the Banning Chamber of Commerce, Business to Business Connection, meets Wednesday at The Lakes in Banning.

The theme for the 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. April 11 meeting is  "How to do business with the City of Banning," chamber of commerce officials said in an announcement.

"The goal of the networking group is to provide a forum where local businesses throughout the Pass Area can come together to promote their business and products, as well as services, with the stated goal to help them increase sales and improve their business' profitability," chamber officials said in March when they formed the group.

Leading the group and acting as facilitators are Linda Hanley, Assistant Vice President and Financial Services Officer for the Bank of Hemet, and Bob Botts of REB Botts & Associates. Botts also serves on the Banning City Council.

Business owners and managers throughout the San Gorgonio Pass area are invited to join.

Anyone who is not a member of the Banning Chamber of Commerce may attend two Business to Business Connection meetings free of charge, organizers said. Thereafter, BBC organizers request attendees join the chamber.

The group is scheduled to meet 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month.

The Wednesday meeting at The Lakes will include coffee, juice and pastry, chamber officials said.

The Lakes is at 5801 Sun Lakes Blvd., Banning.
