The Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce is famous for its member breakfast meetings (September-June) but the group hasn't forgotten about members who are night owls--or simply can't attend meetings in the morning. From 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 11, the chamber will host a Business After Hours networking event at Southgate Lanes, 9700 N. Dixie Hwy.
Business After Hours events are casual networking events. There is no program to keep you tied to your seat.
