BLOG: SNAPPY Captures River Heights Chamber Events

This past week was full of Chamber-related events around town. Tuesday, Aug. 14 was the "Keep it Local" lunch at the newly remodeled Applebee's in IGH. SNAPPY's guest was Wendy Blomseth from the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal.

SNAPPY also met with fellow Chamber member, Michele Heins of Tandem Printing, to discuss doing some graphics work for them when the opportunity arises. We hope to collaborate on many projects!

Other members in attendance were: Dee Hobbie, Bywords Printing; Paul Brosi, Tidal Studio; Lynda Boudreau, Constituent Services for Congressman John Kline; Shawn Murphy, Murphy Financial Solutions; Stephen Doody, Edward Jones; Kelly Dziedzic and Matt Toporski from ADP; Velita Frandrup and Deb Yanisch from Bank of the West; and Dr. Ryan Hetland, River Heights Clinic.

On August 15, the Associated Bank in IGH hosted a CoffeeNet from 7:30-9:30.

There were many Chamber members in attendance there as well, including: Rob, Paychex; Bruce, Quality Auto Care Center; Gary Daggett, Office Depot; Michele Hein, Tandem Printing; Megan Titcomb from Healing Garden Hypnosis; Nicole and Adam Bengston; Steve Doody, Edward Jones; Rachael Hoadley, Associated Bank; Jim Wynn, Claudia Cunningham, Lindsey Sipple, Safiya smith (all from Associated Bank); Chris Quinby, First Data; and Lisa Olson, Fat Cat Art Studio.

The Chamber welcomed new members, Mark and Bridget Biermann with Visalus Sciences this week. Watch for an upcoming post with photos from their houseboat on Saturday. SNAPPY was there to capture the beautiful river views!

This week "SNAPPY" aka Lisa Olson, River Heights Chamber Member, had two of her business mentors come visit the studio and discuss upcoming business. Randy Dahl, current Marketing and Sales Mgr for Door Engineering in St. Peter, Minn., and Julie Hamilton, Owner of Avallo Creative and Web Development.

Thanks to both of them for the on-going support of my creative work at the studio over the years. It's nice to have professionals like Randy and Julie at my side.
