Chamber of Commerce Celebrates Itself, New Direction

The Rancho Santa Margarita Chamber of Commerce, which normally shows up and facilitates ribbon cutting ceremonies for local businesses that open, will be cutting their own on Tuesday.

The Chamber, formerly known as the RSM Business Alliance, will have its own official ribbon cutting ceremony at Penske Toyota, with complimentary wine and cheese, live jazz by the Alexander Burke Trio, and a raffle of more than 25 items. 

The celebration, which is expected to be well-attended, is open to the public and the Chamber is offering an open invitation to those interested in cultivating a successful business climate in Rancho Santa Margarita.

It's an opportunity for local business owners and managers to network with other leaders as the organization celebrates its name change—which became official in December—and embarks on its first year with its new branding, new leadership, focus and direction.

The event begins Tuesday, 5:30 p.m., and should last about two hours. Admission, wine and cheese is complimentary.
