Summer is winding down, which means kids are about to head back to school and working parents will be getting back to a structured schedule.

Everyone is invited to celebrate "Back to School" by attending our "Back to Business" Commerce & Coffee Monthly Membership Breakfast on Friday, July 27, 2018 at the Days Inn/Navarre Conference Center, 8700 Navarre Parkway.

• In the spirit of the adage, “80 percent of success in life is just showing up,” Navarre Press is sponsoring an exciting and profitable game to our monthly “Commerce and Coffee.”
•  
• Reason:  You have to show up to succeed.  If you aren’t at our chamber events, the odds are not in your favor.
•  
• Rules of Engagement (these are being explained here), so we won't have to repeat them every month at Commerce & Coffee:
•  
• Every active Navarre Chamber Member’s Business Name and Primary Contact is placed in a pot.
•  
• At a specific time in the program, a Navarre Press Rep will draw a business/contact name from the pot.
•  
• The selected person will win cash from Navarre Press.
•  
• If that person is not present, cash will be put back in the “pot” until the next chamber breakfast.
•  
• In addition, the give-away will grow an additional $20 each month until the maximum $240 is reached.
•  
• Once the maximum is reached a name will be drawn monthly until there is a winner.
•  
• Once someone wins the “pot,” a new game will begin with $20 and will grow until there is a winner or the “pot” reaches the maximum $240.
•  
• Once it reaches the maximum amount, the name drawing will continue monthly until someone wins.
•  
• The Navarre Press' July Commerce & Coffee Pot is currently $180.
•  
• Good Luck to All Our Members!
