[February 25, 2012]    

Thursday evening several local business people and chamber members enjoyed attending the Business After Hours event hosted by Anytime Fitness and the Lincoln/Logan County Chamber of Commerce.

The Business After Hours open houses are hosted by a different business each month throughout the year. The event, which generally begins around 5 p.m., gives area business owners an opportunity to network with others in the business community in a relaxed atmosphere.

The evenings usually include a chamber-planned activity, some really tasty refreshments and also offer the hosting business an opportunity to highlight what they bring to the Lincoln and Logan County community.

The chamber encourages as many as can to attend each Business After Hours.  The events are open to all chamber members and their staff.
