Join us for our Quarterly Member Luncheon
This is your opportunity to meet our newest members as well as catch up with those you may not have seen for a while. Thank you to our member, Drury Inn and Suites for hosting! We will enjoy a great lunch from Dickey's BBQ! Please contact Abigail@trilakeschamber.com if you need a vegetarian meal.
Presentation by Suzanne Tulien, Brand Clarity Expert, author of Brand DNA, Personal Brand Clarity, and The 6 Myths of Small Business Branding, International Speaker with Brand Ascension, LLC, in a highly engaging, experiential way.
Stop Marketing (for now), Start Branding! is a practical, interactive workshop for small businesses who are spending on marketing without seeing the returns they expect. You’ll learn why strong brands start with internal “brand DNA” and team alignment before external promotion—and how that foundation makes every marketing dollar work harder. Attendees will walk away with clarity on the difference between branding and marketing, the key attributes behind successful brands, and strategies to build real differentiation, loyalty, and referrals.
$30 for Members
$40 for Non-Members
You MUST RSVP in advance for this lunch.
Check-in starts at 11 a.m.
Lunch and program begin at 11:30.

At this complimentary dinner seminar, attorney Damen Ganze will provide you with actionable information that you will be able to use for your own personal estate planning.
If you own a home, a business, or have any assets, you owe it to yourself, and your family, to get honest facts on proper estate planning.
Many past attendees that already had a simple Will were astonished to learn that they were not as protected as they thought.
Damen Ganze's Estate Planning Workshop will educate you on the legal and practical steps you should take to protect your assets, your wishes, and the people that you love.
Damen takes a common sense approach to teach you what you need to know without boring you with legalese.
You will learn:
- How to name a guardian for a minor child or grandchild
- How to avoid a long and expensive court process known as probate
- How to make your medical wishes known and ensure they are honored
- How to make sure the money you leave behind would be immediately and privately available to your family
- How to protect your spouse and children’s inheritance from creditors, predators, future divorces, and lawsuits
- How to leave behind more than just money and homes, but pass on a legacy
Damen Ganze is an energetic speaker that will have you clearly understand what all of these mean and how they affect your estate.
- General Durable Power of Attorney
- Healthcare Power of Attorney
- HIPAA Authorization
- Living Wills
- Wills/Probate
- Living Trusts
This is not a boring classroom setting where most usually struggle to retain the information. Damen uses real-life cases and examples of some of the hundreds of families he helps each year. All attendees will be able to relate to the subject matter presented.
Attorney Damen Ganze's Estate Planning Dinner Workshop is ideal for any adult to attend, whether you’re married, single, elderly, wealthy, disabled, parents, or grandparents. We even suggest you bring your adult heirs.
If you are married, we recommend that you both attend as he’ll be covering information that will pertain to both of you.
