The Chetcuti Community Room was the place to be on Wednesday, July 22 when eight members of the Millbrae Chamber of Commerce co-hosted the Showcase of Businesses mixer and networking event. It was the first time that a group of businesses and organizations had gotten together to host an event in Millbrae. Attendance was great, the food was fabulous, and the door prizes were amazing.

This looks like an event that we will do again. Don't miss out on the next opportunity to participate.
