Lansing Regional Chamber Mixer at PERL Mortgage August 12, 2014 by Chuck Krafft


Lansing Regional Chamber Mixer 

PERL Mortgage 

August 12, 2014 

You never know who you will meet at a Lansing Regional Chamber Mixer.  That’s a big reason I enjoy attending them.  This Thursday, I spent quite a bit of time with Diane Sanborn, owner of the Kozy Koi Bed and Breakfast downtown and Cindy Fuller from “The Balooney Bin.”  The Balooney Bin is located in Jackson and considering expanding to this area.  It was great listening to Cindy talk about the challenges she faces creating balloon art work for various events.  We look forward to Cindy’s decision to expand to Lansing as well as joining the chamber!!

PERL Mortgage hosted this event.  They had it on a patio near their office complex at 4131 Okemos Road.  They have hosted a number of summer barbecues there also. 

PERL Mortgage is in the business of helping home owners and home buyers obtain mortgages and have done this in the area for a few years. 

About 70 people attended this event.  While there was an intermittent drizzle that dampened things a bit, the networking gene caused everyone to make the best of things and keep on with the business of meeting new people and greeting old acquaintances. 

Country House Catering set up a wonderful buffet that featured barbecued pulled pork as the main attraction.  There were plenty of side dishes including potato salad and cookies to eat also.  I really enjoyed my food!! 

If you are not in the habit of attending these Regional Chamber Mixers, you need to come out sometime.  You never know who you will meet that could be a new customer or provide a needed service for your business.  I hope to see all of you next month!!
