Photo by Dana KampaLocal business people connected at the Longboat Key Chamber of Commerce's first land-based networking session of the year on Thursday, May 29, at Zota Beach Resort.
The chamber invited members and potential members to an "Off the Clock" reception at the beachside resort. Last month, the chamber held its first networking event of the season aboard LeBarge Tropical Cruises.
Andrew Vac, realtor and master of ceremonies for the evening, welcomed attendees and thanked the resort for being a longtime partner to the chamber and the Key as a whole.
Jaime Limoges, the new membership coordinator at the Longboat Key Chamber of Commerce, took a moment to introduce herself to the crowd.
She formerly worked as the marketing director of the Humane Society of Sarasota County.
"This was always my favorite chamber to visit when coming to events," she said. "I left to pursue my own business opportunity, and when I saw they needed part-time help here, I thought that was perfect because then I would get to come hang out with all of you."
Attendees also participated in a raffle benefiting Manatee Children's Services.
Malia Price, who is opening a new store on St. Armands Circle, said she appreciated having the chance to chat with fellow business owners on the Key.
The next "Networking at Noon" takes place from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on June 18 at Café on St. Armands. The restaurant, formerly known as Café L'Europe, held its grand reopening on St. Armands Circle in January.
