Welcome Buffalo Wild Wings

Buffalo Wild Wings opened up it's 735th store today in Fresno, CA! The restaurant has been in the works for a while now with everyone waiting for it to open. Now the wait is over! Some people even waiting two days in front of the door to be the first one in. Why.....the first 100 people received FREE wings for a year! General Manager, Randy Hurst, invited the Fresno Chamber Ambassadors over to do a Ribbon Cutting this morning before they opened their doors at 10:00 am. They invited us to stay and try some of their wonderful wings with 14 different sauces to choose from, 62 TV's to watch, full bar and a triva games to play while we waited for our food. They hired a total of 158 employees, and they are all very excited to finally be open! One of our own, Brian McGrath, was the first customer on opening day to do the Blazin
Challenge. He had to eat 12 traditional wings with their hottest sauce in under 6 minutes with no napkins and no water. He did it in 2 minutes and 59 seconds! He won a t-shirt, a picture on the wall and an ulcer! Congratulations Brian!
Buffalo Wild Wings started in Kent, OH, where two friends from Buffalo New
York wanted Buffalo style wings, so they decided to open their own joint in
1981. Come check them out!

Fresno Chamber January Mixer at Belfor Property Restoration

The Fresno Chamber’s first Mixer set the bar high for 2011 with the help of Belfor Property Restoration!
There was a great turnout of well over 50 people to the Fresno Chamber Mixer at Belfor Property Restoration last Thursday night. Both members and quite a few non-members attended this first mixer of the year.
Some came to catch up with old friends. Some came to meet new ones. And everyone was “getting their network on” while dining on delicious foods and deserts from both International Catering and Chick-Fil-A. Belfor Property Restoration even had singer serenade the crowd with his golden voice and gave away prizes to those that dropped a business card in the basket. Fun was had by all!
The atmosphere was equally entertaining and enthusiastic as it seemed everyone was excited about this new year and ready to take it on with gusto.
Not only does Belfor help out people in desperate situations, they also had ARF (Animal Rescue of Fresno) in attendance to collect pet food and donations to help support animals in need.
Thank you Belfor Property Restoration for kicking off 2011 right with January’s monthly Mixer! Now I’m really looking forward to February’s mixer at Valley Business Bank!

Hold on to your briefcase! 2011 is already set for a fast pace.

It’s a new year and the Fresno Chamber Ambassador committee is already off to a fast start. With our first meeting already held on January 5th we welcomed Shawna Speake with Valley Business Bank and Marina Haro with Eye-Q-Vision Center to a second term as Co-Chairs to the Ambassador committee. It was also announced with pride that Lynnette Schetselaar of American Tax Credits Group not only won the Ambassadors Mark Fletcher award for having attended the most functions but she will be honored at the Fresno Chamber of Commerce Annual Installation Dinner as our 2010 Ambassador of the year! This is a prestigious award is given to an Ambassador who has shown outstanding commitment to the Fresno Chamber of Commerce and the Business Community. This year will mark the fourth consecutive year that this award is given. The 2007 recipient was Kristin Valenzuela-Groth of KMJ Radio/Peak Broadcasting. In 2008 and 2009 the recipient was Hannah DeGroot of Realty Concepts and now in 2010 to Lynnette Schetselaar of American Tax Credits.

The first meeting of the year had a full room with not a seat left in the house. Reports were heard from our Social Committee, Membership Committee and Internet Marketing Committee. We also had five new guests in attendance. Yes the Ambassadors are off to a quick start and we say Hold on to your briefcase because 2011 is looking great!

The Fresno Chamber Ambassadors are an absolutely fantastic group of business professionals. Not only do we attend ribbon cuttings, grand openings, grounds breaking ceremonies, monthly mixers and, on occasion, press releases, but we foster a healthy business relationship within the group and the Chamber community at large. We use each other’s services, get help when needed and are a support to one another. If you are looking to get more out of your Chamber membership or simply looking to foster business relationships then this the group for you.
