Posted by Paula Scott on July 29, 2022 - 7:25am

Followed by free Trivia Night contest at Southgate Lanes

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.

The number one song on the list by The Rolling Stones is “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” The author feels the lyrics touch on tempering optimism with a dose of reality.
