The Greater Clairemont Chamber of Commerce held its monthly Business Networking Mixer August 16th at the Residence Inn Marriot at 5400 Kearny Mesa Road. It was a very well attended event where Chamber members and their guests enjoyed great food and drinks provided by the Residence Inn. Several lucky people won door prizes as well. The Chamber would like to express its thanks to the Residence Inn Marriot for accommodating the many Clairemont businessmen and women who gathered to make and renew business connections.

Chamber mixers are terrific opportunities for Clairemont businesses to promote their offerings while learning about other providers of goods and services in the area.
